Knowledge Media Piece

Introduced in the Multimedia section of this guide:

In science it can be critical to describe a phenomenon in a way that others feel they are sharing the experience.  In this assignment you are creating a mediated multimedia multimodal experience (say that three times fast!):
 
Mediated:  Select a primary experience you have had, or are currently having, related to science, nature, and/or animals that you can mediate (share) with someone who may not have had that experience.  
Multimedia: Select two different media forms for mediating your experience.  This could be photo and text, a video with picture and sound, a labeled sketch, or whatever best mediates the experience, bringing it to life for the audience.
Multimodal:  Figure out what sensory information (modes) you want to incorporate into your description of the experience.  This may mean finding a creative way to explain a sensory experience, like describing what something smells like or how it feel to the touch.

You will be uploading your mediated multimedia multimodal experience to Canvas.  It will probably be self-explanatory, but if you would like to add additional information, you can use the comments box.  Since this media piece can go into your final portfolio, you may want to select an experience that you would like in the portfolio, but don’t have a place for yet.

Media Piece Directions

 
Upload your mediated multimedia multimodal piece to Canvas. 
No additional comments are required.
