Instructional Multimedia: Curriculum, Professional, and Educational Materials Development for Science, Mathematics, and Technology

该项目使巴尔的摩县和周边地区的中学教师和大学教职员工能够有效地将计算机技术融入他们的课堂。活动包括：(1)扩大目前由国家科学基金会资助的信息和多媒体技术计划(国家科学基金会奖9950056号)，包括一项新的教学多媒体课程，并为有兴趣熟练使用多媒体技术为其课堂制作有效的互动学习材料的教育工作者提供证书选项；(2)提供为期两周的多媒体技术课堂应用强化体验，以发展在职中学教师和大学教师在科学、数学和技术领域的技术货币，并培养在职技术教师在中学教授衔接的多媒体技术课程；以及(3)在CCBC埃塞克斯创建一个新的数字音频/视频计算机制作实验室，以支持新的教学多媒体证书选项，并使项目参与者能够为他们的教室开发多媒体学习活动(MLA)(基于计算机或网络的小型动画和互动应用程序)。开发的材料融合了国家科学、数学、技术和教育行业标准。CCBC埃塞克斯的科学、数学和技术教师正在与巴尔的摩县公立学校的教师和管理人员、在工作场所使用多媒体的企业的专业人员(包括Apropos Media、Breakaway Games和System Source)以及马里兰州圣母大学的教职员工合作开发教学设计和技术课程。至少有四门新的学分课程正在开发中，既适用于传统授课，也适用于在线授课：计算机时代的伦理责任、用技术管理学习、教育技术流程和在线课程管理。

This project is enabling secondary school teachers and college faculty in Baltimore County and the surrounding region to effectively integrate computer technology into their classrooms. Activities include:(1) expanding the current NSF-funded Information and Multimedia Technology (IMMT) program (NSF Award No. 9950056) to include a new Instructional Multimedia curriculum with a certificate option for educators interested in becoming proficient in using multimedia technology to create effective interactive learning materials for their classrooms;(2) providing two-week intensive experiences in classroom multimedia technology applications to develop the technological currency of in-service secondary school teachers and college faculty in science, mathematics, and technology fields, and to prepare in-service technology teachers to teach articulated multimedia technology courses at secondary schools; and(3) creating a new digital audio/video computer production laboratory at CCBC Essex to support the new Instructional Multimedia certificate option and to enable project participants to develop Multimedia Learning Activities (MLAs) (small computer- or Web-based animations and interactive applications) for their classrooms. The developed materials incorporate national science, mathematics, technology, and industry standards in education.Science, mathematics, and technology faculty from CCBC Essex are developing instructional design and technology courses in collaboration with teachers and administrators from the Baltimore County Public Schools, professionals from businesses that use multimedia in the workplace (including Apropos Media, BreakAway Games, and System Source), and faculty from the College of Notre Dame of Maryland. At least four new credit courses are being developed for both traditional and online delivery: Ethical Responsibilities in the Computer Age, Managing Learning with Technology, Educational Technology Process, and Online Course Management.
