In Project 3, the team preplanned for independent and collaborative brainstorming to identify solutions. We used the Miro online platform to share our ideas. After we all agreed to create a solution that included learning goals, objectives, and competencies, I consolidated all information into a 10-minute presentation video for the client.

In Project 3, we were in the Identify Solutions stage. 

   Our instructional problem

Challenge question: How do institutions create a strategic plan to begin institutionalizing their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion journey?

Client: Leaders at a fictional higher education institution, the College of Oster in Ohio.

Process

In response to the professor's feedback for the video from Project 1, I tried to cut back the use of the text on the screen as I created the presentation slides. 

   Challenges & Solution

Since the data and information we prepared through previous steps and from brainstorming were primarily text-based, my challenge was to organize them logically and visualize the information while keeping the meaning and details intact. 

In the end

The professor pointed out that the tone of the presentation was too relaxed for the topic of DEI. He also cautioned us about the Modality Principle and how much text I had put on the screen along with the same narrations, and a screencast was illegible.

I reviewed Mayer's 12 Principles for Multimedia Learning and discussed with the team the next step in creating effective use of multimedia in learning with his recent rethinking version in Project 5.
