ITEC299 - Multimedia Learning
This document discusses different types of social learning including screencasts, podcasts, and multimedia. Screencasts are video recordings of a computer screen that are helpful for visual and sequential learners. Podcasts are audio recordings that cover a variety of topics and are easy to listen to on mobile devices. Multimedia incorporates multiple media types such as text, audio, video and graphics to make content easier to understand than just text. The authors found screencasts to be the most interesting as they allow pausing and rewinding. They were surprised by how ubiquitous multimedia has become. They want to learn more about podcasts and subscribe to podcasts on topics they enjoy. After ITEC, one author plans to continue using podcasts
