LT 731 Multimedia Production

Course Description: Students learn principles of visual design, use of sound and color, and hands-on production of text and animated resources for use in educational and training materials for the development of interactive multimedia and hypermedia lessons and presentations.

Reflection:

This course focused on the principles for learning Multimedia Production. The main ideas of the course supported 3 areas: the theory of visual design and why it is important, the foundational knowledge and being able to understand the language used, and applying the knowledge through hands-on skills. I enjoyed learning about the various multimedia tools. My key takeaways from this course include knowledge of key vocabulary terms of Visual Design, typography, whitespace, Principle of Unity and replacing bullet points with icons/pictures.

Areas of learning:

• Multimedia Tools: Edpuzzle, Quizizz, Seesaw, WeVideo, Pixlr, Canva, Google Drawing, Gravit Designer, Book Creator, AutoDraw, Animated Gif, Adobe Spark, Animating in Powerpoint, Adobe Captivate, Lucid Press, and Green Screen Video
