It is become difficult to follow all the principle when creating multimedia learning object as each principle indicates towards a different set of instruction and situations.

  • Which multimedia learning principles would apply to a PowerPoint presentation in a classroom or face-to-face business meeting?

 

The multimedia principle would apply to a PowerPoint presentation in a classroom while in face to face spilt attention principle can be applied from the multimedia learning principle.

 

  • Provide an example of a multimedia learning principle you have intuitively followed in the past, and an example of a multimedia learning principle you have broken in the past.

 

While creating a PowerPoint presentation in my previous classwork courses, I intuitively used the Multimedia principle which emphasized on using pictures with words for better understanding. While I broke the redundancy principle as I provide the same information multiple times to the audience.

  • What is a digital identity?

Digital identity can be explained as the footprint of an individual or an organization over the internet. It can be related to their web activities including profile over social media, bloggers or over streaming services like YouTube (Stoller). Digital identity holds great potential especially for individual who create, design and share their creativity.

Social media offers a variety of options to keep or create differences in personal and professional digital identity. However, one can easily mix both and affect their digital identity in the long and short term as well. In terms of personal approaches to the digital identity, one can share their trips, likes or dislikes on the basis of their personal interest (Oliveira and Lina). While in the professional capacity one restricts itself to more vocal about their personal interest and focus on the professional approaches while framing their digital identity.  Hence, personal versus professional approaches to digital identity affect the way of interacting with social media.

 

  • How do digital identities converge in networked public?

 

Digital identities certainly converge in networked public especially due to the search engine keywords. As an individual, when one create and share things on social media. It can easily be found on public domains. Although social media websites offer great help in restricting their user content for the public, still hiding everything on social media takes away the main objective of the platform. Therefore, digital identities mostly converge in networked public in a great way and changing the discourse of the general public by studying the digital identities of masses.

 

  • What are the impacts and/or benefits? – Can a digital wallet provide trust in networked public?

 

In the modern digital payment system, the digital wallet is becoming important and providing a quick and easy way to the networked public for payment. There are many benefits of using the digital wallet such as quick and easy pay, low authorization, loading as per needs and also easily accessible through smartphone or wearables. However, there is a certain impact of the digital wallet as well which diminishing its benefits. Due to less security, it becomes an easy target for hackers to gain access to an individual backend personal information of their original payment method. Hence, one needs to remain careful while using a digital wallet in a public network.

  1. How would the Dual Coding Theory change how you create PowerPoint presentations?

The Dual Coding theory emphasized the human ways of processing the information which is visually and verbally. Therefore, one should create a PowerPoint presentation in such a way that the content of it forward the information in both ways and remain specific to the context (Sung-Byung et al. 187). Hence, the presentation should include pictures, videos and sound for creating a high impact on the audience.

  1. Why are we talking about the concept of Flow in a class about online and multimedia learning?

The concept of flow holds the utmost importance in the online learning environment. The flow maintains e- learner’s sense of absorbing virtual education from the multimedia framework of technology. The concept of flow provides three benefits with positive emotion, its academic performance and motivation towards learning further from the online and multimedia learning methods.

  1. Why are we learning about learning theories in this class?

We learning about the learning theories in this class as they offer insights about using information, knowledge creation and the core reason behind the generation of learning (Campbell et al. 26). In this way, it helps the learner to make informed decisions in respect of a particular situation with the help of learning designer framework.

  1. What uses and potential benefits for online learning can the Hypothes.is tool give us? What are potential drawbacks to using Hypothes.is?

Hypothes.is is a free and open tool which helps in online learning by increasing the student’s engagement in annotating the web from anywhere. It also facilities layers of conversation from the entire web. With this platform, students and teacher can analyze text collaboratively. The major potential drawbacks are that Hypothes.is cannot help the students in solving the problems.

  1. Other thoughts or reflections you’ve had on interactive and multimedia learning from today’s videos and readings?

With today’s video and reading, I learned about the depth of the interactive and multimedia learning which helps me in understanding the basics of creating content with the multimedia tool. Now, I am able to understand the science behind the content creation which I will be able to use in the future presentation to make them more effective.

• What does it mean to the network using social media?
In the modern digital world, it’s become common to have a network using social media and the current pandemic situation due to COVID-19 also give a great boost to the same. Social media offers an internet-based platform which helps in getting connected with friends, family and relatives from anywhere in the world. It can provide a variety of purposes such as social and business (Hensel et al. 87). Networking through social media means a lot as one can search and relate to a group of people who shares a common interest or opinion on a cause. Thus, building social media networking provide a great feasible and more connectivity to an individual. However, it affects the relationship in longer terms.

• How are we motivated to participate in networked public?
In order to motivate towards participating in networked public, there is a variety of motivation to the general public. First, the independent platform for sharing information and opinion about any cause. Second, the less knowledge about the working of networked public and get motivated to use the free platform which connects multiple devices to a network without permission (Wang 662). Last, the networked public offers a large number of audience which seems attracted to the general public who are in search of the indirect public for sharing their information or opinion.

• What are the risks & rewards of public communications?
The public communication offers both risk and rewards due to wide implications over society. In terms of rewards, it offers a free- information sharing platform to the users and let them have a large number of the audience (Burris 851). While in terms of risks, one can take advantage of a large number of connected devices to steal information and data.

Interactive and multimedia learning is a new form of method which is incorporating itself into the field of the academic education system. Similarly, I have high hopes from the class which is to get at least a beginner level of skills by which I can create multimedia-based infographics. However, I am sure that it can make me an expert on that thing as it also depends on my efforts towards learning from this course. In my opinion, the example of Rich’s son playing a web-based game is related to more interactive learning. Similarly, one example of multimedia-based learning can be TED talks which incorporates presentation, speech and videos simultaneously (Huang et. al, 2016). It does make a positive impact on me as with their multimedia-based learning method. They can convey the message more accurately to the wider audience.

Additionally, I also remember a learning experience that does not involve digital technology from my school days. One of our English teacher who seems to be expert its storytelling. He used hand gestures, simple pictures and wooden figures to convey the message to the students. I enjoyed it very much and it will remain a positive experience for me as it brings back the old memories. Similarly, I used to add symbols, figures and small clipart in the presentation of my previous class to make them impactful. Thus, I gained a lot from today’s videos and also came to know about the fact that multimedia form of expression is more than three centuries old.
