Abstract

At Universiti Sains Malaysia in Malaysia, Multimedia Authoring is a compulsory course for pre service teachers majoring in Interactive Multimedia. Besides acquiring theoretical knowledge on multimedia authoring, student teachers are required to produce a multimedia project during the course. This paper reports the findings of an experiment on a new approach to teaching multimedia authoring to pre service teachers. In the past, multimedia authoring methods such as using modules, text-books, templates, tutorials, demonstrations and lectures have been used. In the present method termed the project-based learning approach to multimedia authoring, pre service teachers were provided with various learning resources required to author a multimedia project. They worked in groups of three to four students. As the students developed their project, they maintained a reflective journal of their experiences. The students indeed had a very rich learning experience and produced excellent multimedia projects some of which will be show-cased during the presentation.
