Synopsis:

This book presents a strategy for developing constructivist multimedia learning material based on the principles of multimedia learning, constructivism and BSCS 5E model.Multimedia is not constructivist by default.Multimedia can be made constructivist if the correct pedagogical approach is used.The underlying assumptions of this book are that learners have individual styles of learning,construct their own meaning and that the learner is at the center of the learning process.The new paradigm supports a constructivist view.The challenge for instructional designers is to create environments rich with crucial learning attributes that support a cognitive,constructivist paradigm.Unless guided by instructional design principles, multimedia learning products run the risk of being unusual and entertaining but not effective.. BSCS 5E model, when integrated into multimedia instruction and developed using ADDIE model can support the creation of constructivist learning environments. Hence this book is expected to benefit the educators, curriculum experts and other researchers in the field of multimedia development.
