From Concept to Classroom: Crafting Multimedia for Criminal Justice Education

• In Event: Beyond the Lecture: Harnessing Multimedia to Transform Criminal Justice Education

Abstract

Behind every effective multimedia learning experience lies a thoughtful creation process that balances pedagogical goals with technical execution. This presentation unveils the development workflow that transforms criminal justice concepts into engaging digital experiences, highlighting the tools and techniques used in creating immersive educational content. We will showcase several implemented projects demonstrating how multimedia effectively bridges theoretical knowledge with practical application. Through live demonstrations, attendees will experience firsthand how strategic design choices can simulate the ethical dilemmas and procedural challenges criminal justice graduates will encounter, ultimately creating more meaningful learning experiences that better prepare students for their professional careers. The session will provide insight into both the creative process and technical considerations that shape successful educational multimedia, offering a behind-the-scenes look at content development from initial faculty collaboration to final implementation.
