Abstract

Most of us will probably agree that developing cognitive skills is an important goal for education, and is of particular significance for life long learners. It is an area that requires continuous attention and further research. In this presentation, I will examine the use of interactive multimedia technology to support cognitive skills development. Specifically, I'm interested in examining how to design interactive multimedia learning environments to provide necessary support for developing higher level cognitive skills. There are many different ways to create interactive multimedia learning environments. Here I will look at two approaches based upon my research and development experience: 1. Engaging learners as multimedia designers using a project-based learning approach; and 2. Enhancing problem solving skills through a problem-based multimedia learning environment for middle school science, Alien Rescue. I'll discuss the design, implementation, and research of each environment.
