The structured field experience for ITEC 7445 involved the creation of a multimedia design project, which primarily consisted of designing and implementing a WebQuest. Prior to the creation of the WebQuest, we were tasked with various HTML coding exercises. These tasks I felt, definitely broadened my skillset as a technology facilitator and leader. In addition to the coding tasks, I also had to develop a functional understanding of iMovie. I chose to edit my multimedia design video with iMovie. Prior to the class, I predominantly worked in Windows Movie Maker and Adobe Premier Elements only. I saw the multimedia design project as an opportunity to expand my knowledge base in regards to video editing software. Overall, ITEC 7445 expanded my technical skill set in the areas of HTML and video editing.
In addition to the multimedia design project, I also got a lot out of completing the Evaluating Emerging Technology Assessment assignment and the copyright presentation assignment. Both of these exercises were crucial to my development as a knowledgeable Instructional Technology professional. I was able to analyze the Kurzeil 3000-firefly iPad app’s effectiveness as an assistive technology intervention. Also, I was able to broaden my understanding of fair use, creative commons and copyright law through my research for the copyright module and project. Overall, the class was a wonderful and insightful experience and I feel I have grown as an Instructional Technology professional.
