Creating Computer Based Learning Artefacts For Implementation In The United Kingdom's National Grid For Learning As A Third Year Interactive Multimedia (BA Hons) Degree Project

This poster session is designed to showcase how students enrolled on a BA(Hons) course in Interactive Multimedia can participate in a government educational initiative (the UK’s National Grid for Learning) while fulfilling degree requirements. The Web based work that the students developed demonstrates how the concept of a national educational resource can be used in teaching and learning for all levels of education. From an instructional point of view the project was an excellent one that allowed students to control a ‘real world project’ and at the same time be involved in teaching the use of interactive multimedia to a teaching professional. Technology students tend to forget that the rest of the world isn’t as technically ‘savvy’ as they are. This brief forced them to step back and take a look at the user population.
