Learner+Outcome

Question: What outcomes had you envisioned for this course? Did you achieve those outcomes? Did the actual course outcomes align with those that you envisioned?

Initially, I didn’t know what to expect. The only outcome I envisioned was that the experience would be a very positive one that would give me the confidence to produce quality multimedia productions and oversee the implementation of them into the school’s curriculum. I really had no idea what direction the course would take to achieve this. However, as technology coordinator of my campus, I’m well assured of my expertise in achieving the learning outcomes from this course that superseded my expectations. I now approach multimedia from a new perspective. Patti Shank’s quote sums up my experience best. “The most effective multimedia provides learning experiences that mirror real-world experiences and let learners apply the content in various contexts.” (Shank, 2009) As technology coordinator, my learning outcomes were grounded in real- world experiences that taught me how to create a digital story and work collaboratively with others to create a PSA.
