TPCK - Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) attempts to capture some of the essential qualities of knowledge required by teachers for technology integration in their teaching, while addressing the complex, multifaceted and situated nature of teacher knowledge. At the heart of the TPACK framework, is the complex interplay of three primary forms of knowledge: Content (CK), Pedagogy (PK), and Technology (TK). As must be clear, the TPACK framework builds on Shulman's idea of Pedagogical Content Knowledge.

 

 

The New Work of Assessment: Evaluating Multimodal Compositions. Elizabeth A. Murray, Hailey A. Sheets, Nicole A. Williams

While many composition scholars, including Ron Fortune, Gunther Kress, and Cynthia L. Selfe, have discussed multimodal compositions (compositions that combine more than one mode, such as text, image, audio, or video) and the promotion of visual literacy in the classroom, the issue of how to assess these unique compositions deserves more attention than it has been given.

Multimedia design controversies

There are pundits on both sides of the multimedia issue. The critics disuss things like channel overload, the "attention" characteristic of learning, and the entertainment effect of multimedia. They believe multimedia is highly over-rated as an educational tool. The proponents use cue summation and multichannel communication theory to support their view that multimedia is a valuable tool for increasing learning.
