After reading Jiahao’s post 1, I agree that in interactive media users can access different content globally without leaving home or worrying about different languages. It can help us to bring the distance between different country regions. It allows us to have an easier way of understanding each other. It gives us the possibility of different results in some ideas and is more conducive to seeing the same issues from a different perspective. So I think interactive media is more conducive to bringing people closer even if you are from different cities or countries.
Actually, I was taking EDCI 335 and EDCI339 before, and I learn a lot of study skills and teaching skills in the EDCI course. That is why I am taking the EDCI337, I think I can learn more different skills to help me for my job or study in the future. For my learning goals this term, I hope I was able to follow the professor to learn more than I had ever known before.Â
After finishing those reading and videos, Multimedia learning can be defined as a form of computer-assisted instruction that uses both modalities. This means learning through pictures, animations, text and video, and audio. I have gained a basic understanding of cognitive load theory. There are three types of cognitive load theory, Extraneous load, Intrinsic load, and Germane load. Extraneous load refers to the cognitive effort wasted on material or details that do not support learning outcomes. Intrinsic load refers to the cognitive effort required to represent the material in working memory and is based on the complexity or difficulty inherent to the learning materials. And Germane load is the effort required for the learner to comprehend the material and is strongly influenced by his or her motivation.
In my view, Multimedia teaching is a new teaching method, which integrates sound, image, video, and text media. It can achieve the purpose of teaching knowledge, developing intelligence, cultivating ability, and individualized teaching. With the deepening of teaching reform, multimedia teaching has been fully affirmed by teachers and students and has become the development trend of education modernization in the 21st century.Â
Interactive Multimedia
As you can see that is a VR game, I think that is interactive multimedia. I think VR will be the best multimedia in the future. What interests me most is that you can do something in the VR world that you can’t do in the real world. For example, the meta-universe that people talk about a lot now is a kind of VR, and it will be a future trend.Â

Before proceeding with this first blog post, we expect you to consider your privacy preferences carefully and that you have considered the following options:
Do you want to be online vs. offline?
Do you want to use your name (or part thereof) vs. a pseudonym (e.g., West Coast Teacher)?
Do you want to have your blog public vs. private? (Note, you can set individual blog posts private or password protected or have an entire blog set to private)
Have you considered whether you are posting within or outside of Canada? This blog on opened.ca is hosted within Canada. That said, any public blog posts can have its content aggregated/curated onto social networks outside of Canada.
First tasks you might explore with your new blog:
Go into its admin panel found by adding /wp-admin at the end of your blog’s URL
Add new category or tags to organize your blog posts – found under “Posts” (but do not remove the pre-existing categories or sub-categories). If you would like to add more course categories, please do so (e.g., add EDCI 306A with no space for Music Ed, etc.)
See if your blog posts are appearing on the course website (you must have the course categories assigned to a post first and have provided your instructor with your blog URL)
Add pages
Embed images or set featured images and embed video in blog posts and pages (can be your own media or that found on the internet, but consider free or creative commons licensed works)
Under Appearance,
Select your preferred website theme and customize to your preferences (New title, etc.)
Customize menus & navigation
Use widgets to customize blog content and features
Delete this starter post (or switch it to draft status if you want to keep for reference)
Do consider creating categories for each course that you take should you wish to document your learning (or from professional learning activities outside of formal courses). Keep note, however, that you may wish to use the course topic as the category as opposed to the course number as those outside of your program would not be familiar with the number (e.g., we use “Multimedia Learning” instead of “edci337).
Lastly, as always, be aware of the FIPPA as it relates to privacy and share only those names/images that you have consent to use or are otherwise public figures. When in doubt, ask us.
