EDLD 5363 Multimedia and Video Technology

The master's course for educational technology moves rather quickly.  The five week courses are a bit intimidating, navigating through the sheer volume of material that must be covered in such a short time period.  Each course seems too ambitious.  This course was no different.  I had no experience with video and multimedia technology. I was encouraged by the enthusiasm of my fellow students on the discussion board.  Taking one assignment at a time, completing the readings and participating in the discussion board turns the experience from intimidation to excitement.  I have to wonder if that is the experience of the students as he or she is learning new things.   This course specifically gears learning to the level of today's students, students that are much more interested not in seeing graphics but designing graphics.   The assignment was a challenge for a novice like me but exciting and fun at the same time.  Perhaps this is one of the benefits of lifelong learning that I simply did not expect.
