Computer Based Training Week 2

I did a Captivate tutorial on setting up your website through Dreamweaver. It won't teach anyone in this class anything new but could prove to be helpful to new students.

Adobe breaks it down how to use multimedia to the max. An excerpt:
"Contemporary learning theorists such as Spiro, Bereiter, and Brown believe that a key goal of instruction is to provide opportunities for learners to develop mastery in the areas of life they are each involved in. One important step that learners take in developing that mastery is building effective mental models. A mental model is an internal representation of reality. So instruction on how a copier works must help learners internalize how the parts work together so they can operate or fix it, not just match pictures of parts to part names."
