Guided Hypermedia Projects

The production of self-made multimedia projects can be approached in two different ways:

1. As an instructive tool, such as in the production by students of a power-point presentation of a

selected topic.
2. As a communication tool, such as when students do a multimedia presentation (with text,
graphs, photos, audio narration, interviews, video clips, etc. to simulate a television news show.

HyperStudio (by Roger Wagner Productions) software is an example of a multimedia software.

Assigning the production of a similar computer software material may be too
sophisticated/technical for the average student. But students can be assigned to produce poster
designs, computer tools and the required development of appropriate creative skills, as well.

IV. Web-based Projects

Students can be made to create and post webpages on a given topic. But creating webpages,
even single page webpages, may be too sophisticated and time consuming for the average student.

It should be said, however, that posting of webpages in the Internet allows the students (now
the webpage creator) a wider audience. They can also be linked with other related sites in the Internet.

Creativity projects as tools in the teaching-learning process can be achieved with the assistance
of advisers adept in the technical use of Internet resources
