Beyond the Lecture: Designing Media for Interactivity and Engagement

This poster presentation will focus on a process for creating engaging and interactive media as a component of instructional design. Examples of video produced for different instructional purposes within online courses at Columbia University will be presented, such as: translating 3-D objects into the online space; using video to instruct and capture clinical performance skills; documentary excerpts of an advocacy group showing course principles in action; simulations of professional scenarios; and interactive branching scenarios. We will show how media production is a part of- and not a product of-instructional design.

OUTCOMES: Describe a process for integrating instructional design and production * Develop a rationale for guidelines for producing engaging media * Use a design-driven approach for suggesting different media for different instructional purposes
