Using the Mobile and Mighty iPad-Mini for Undergraduate Multimedia Project-Based Learning

• In Event: MPD - Problem Based Learning (PBL) [FA]

Short Description

As a result of the ever-growing capacity of the Internet and emerging mobile devices, agricultural communication undergraduates are entering a career field that requires them to have 21st century multimedia production skills. In response, we developed a multimedia, project-based learning course where students used iPad-minis, mobile applications, and video accessories to develop real-word science communication video projects for online audiences. Presenters will discuss the course design, mobile technology implementation, and qualitative research results.
