Multimedia is the use of various forms of media to convey thoughts and ideas. It is our best chance to create content that can reach students with different learning styles. Teachers become facilitators helping students find the information in a format that works for them. With students grasping the information at a deeper level, teachers are able to have more success in helping students develop the critical thinking and analytic skills needed to solve problems. For what is multimedia but the varied methods by which we obtain information? I believe that it is imperative to use multimedia to reach all students with all learning styles. Giving students the choice as to how to demonstrate their mastery of the course material will help them build confidence in their ability to achieve. Challenging them to use multiple ways to express themselves make them stronger, more flexible, thinkers.
As the world shirks, we will need to find ways to recognize the contributions of artist and content providers alike. People's willingness to share information is a sacred trust we must guard if it is to flourish.
