Abstract

This session will demonstrate the results of two years of summer workshops designed to teach K-12, community college, and CalState instructors how to use, and how to motivate students to use, multimedia and the WWW in their classrooms. The presenters will describe the training paradigm that was used with both groups of faculty: K-12 instructors and university professors. In both 1997 and 1998 there were disparities between participant and instructor expectations. The biggest problems lay in the initial lack of student understanding of the complex nature of multimedia design and execution, the amount of time needed to devote to the construction of even simple multimedia projects and the steepness of the learning curve for some multimedia tools. These training workshops were organized by the Mathematics And Science Teacher Education Program (MASTEP), a five year NSF sponsered consortium to improve mathematics and science in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
