This is one way I tried to use wikipedia in my courses but to no avail.

The ECMM 402 Introductory multimedia course does not want to write a final exam. So I proposed that the ECMM 470 course could possibly design a final evaluation for them.

This page will serve as the area to develop a final evaluation for the course. The final evaluation is worth 30 marks.

Here is some background.

Course Description

Educational technology is one of the fastest growing areas in education. Every sector of education, from elementary to post-secondary, is implementing information technology at an unprecedented pace. Many teachers-in-training are interested in developing their own materials to take advantage of newer technologies in their classrooms. This course will introduce you to the basic principles of instructional design and help you to apply them to the design and production of interactive instruction and multi-mediated forms of resource materials.

While there is no expectation that you be highly "computer literate" to take this course, it is expected that you have some acquaintance with word processing and other simple utilities. If you have no background in the use of productivity tools and would like to acquire some basic skills in computer use, then ECMM 370.3 would be a more appropriate course for you to enroll in. In this course you will learn how to use the basic media editors and multimedia assembly tools to assemble the computer-based resources. Word, Audacity, Grageband, PhotoShop Elements, and iMovie will be to edit and/or create the media clips. PowerPoint, iDVD and Dreamweaver will be used to assemble the clips into presentations and projects. Here's some more information for you as you study for the final examination. The final will consist of several different types of questions, and I'll outline them below.

Six (6) multiple choice items, just to warm you up!

Fourteen (14) What is it items, where I will give you a definition or example of something and ask you to identify what it is.

Three (3) howzitdifferent items. I'll give you a pair of items or ideas, and ask you to tell me how they differ.

Four (4) howzit work items. I'll identify something and ask you to tell me how it works or what it does.

Three (3) short answer issues (up to a paragraph). Example: Describe three principles we discussed in class that you should apply to the visual design of your web site.

One (1) essay item. This one should be the subject for creative thinking. ex. an open topic.

What do I study? If you have kept up with the online readings, text chapters, and attended the lectures you will do great. You will be responsible for everything we have done in class. Any power point presentation I have made will be on the Web CT homepage. You may refer to any information we addressed in class. You will be able to demonstrate your working knowledge of the programs we used as well as general multimedia-related concepts.

This was not a successful event in that the 470 students were not interested in making up an exam for the other course.
