Design+Skills



=**Assignment 1 :** **Developing a multimedia resource**=

Wikis are a new and exciting web authoring tool with excellent potential to support teaching and learning. (see for example the report by Linsday Grant on [|Using Wikis in Schools.]) Building on exploratory work with 'wikis' undertaken in your coursework sessions, you are to create a wiki based resource that could be used to support teaching and learning in an aspect of school based design and technology. This should : · comprise a number of linked pages relating to teaching a design / presentation skill of your own choosing. · be linked to the host wiki - 'wikidworkspace'

You could for example upload a video excerpt of a practical skill or a video screen capture sequence if demonstrating software. You may decide that some of your information would be best covered by embedding a Powerpoint presentation into your pages. This is a very simple process - see Embedding a Powerpoint for more information


 * //When you have completed your pages - create a link to them below. Let us know and we can lock it against further editing.//**

You can introduce a bit of visual variation into pages by using web graphic editors such as 'Cool Text' to create banner headings and link buttons - follow link below for an example. (Note: When downloading the image, save as GIF).
