Course Description: Welcome to Multimedia! Multimedia is a fun but challenging class. Multimedia is the combined use of text, typography, graphics, sound, animation, photography, and video. The purpose of this curriculum is to teach participants how to develop memorable multimedia projects. Participants will design projects between the Macintosh and Windows platform. Ethical issues concerning multimedia design and its use in education will be the literacy focus of reading, writing, speaking, and reasoning through class discussions throughout the course of the year. This course will give students marketable experience in journalism, visual communication, and print media publishing. This course solely works toward the completion and selling of a large finished product, Normandy High Schools yearbook on DVD. Standards-Based Performance Assessment Curriculum Objectives: This course of study embraces Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, incorporating project-based learning, critical thinking and collaboration skills. Students complete a minimum of thirteen (13) projects over the course of the school year. After each project, they give a public presentation. Students gain an understanding of how to apply relative literacy skills (reading, writing, speaking, and reasoning) to specific projects. Students will demonstrate substantial skills in the construction of effective compositions through: understanding, identifying, and demonstrating knowledge of computer operations (NOCTI 1) formulate and demonstrate an understanding of interactive multimedia (NOCTI 2) understanding and utilizing instructional design elements and principles by applying unifying techniques in the development of visual communications projects (NOCTI 3) understanding and applying design execution and presentation via conceptual design processes (NOCTI 4) discussions and examples demonstrating links between the commercial and fine arts understanding and applying basic principles of color through various Color Theory communication projects (NOCTI 5) understand the different types of typography through experiments and practices (NOCTI 6) exploring methods of visualization and communication demonstrate the use of animation, digitized sound, video control, and scanned images will develop conceptual maps of materials and tools, content, and processes for interactive multimedia instructional programs (NOCTI 7) produce layouts, photographs, graphic design, digital imaging, and manage the production of Normandys yearbook on DVD. demonstrating safety practices during implementation of projects (NOCTI 8) understand and identify career options in the visual communications/multimedia design field (NOCTI 9).

Multimedia Competency Profile

Course Rationale: This area of instruction addresses the technology knowledge and skills required of students entering the workplace. The demand will continue to expand as businesses utilize multimedia functions including graphics, audio, video, web page design and maintenance, and electronic presentation skills. The National Standards for Business Education numbering system is developed to correlate with the competencies listed in each duty band, column 2. The National Standards are converted from bulleted items to a numbering system as follows: M.VIII.A.1.1, means Management, Roman numeral VIII, Section A, Level 1, the first bulleted item.

The following suggested competencies, developed by an advisory committee, are intended to serve as a basis for your course curriculum. If activities you choose better aligned with other Standards, you should align your competencies/objectives to those Standards instead of the Standards shown here.
