Multimedia CD-ROMs

Students were asked to develop a multimedia solution to an identified issue. Students would produce a CD-ROM with some combination of text, images, audio, video, animation and 3-D modelling.

The unit was structured and delivered by teacher Malcolm Howard to address issues which had been identified in the teaching and assessing of Technology in an Digital context.

Experiences gained during the delivery of the unit has informed ongoing modification of teacher-student interaction strategies and streamlining of the assessment process.
