EDUCATIONAL GOALS
The course aims to provide students with about information technology and multimedia in various areas of the knowledge society: basic principles of computer science, office automation applications, applications
in training and teaching, effective communication and virtual reality, online training and mobile
learning, from stand-alone applications to cloud sharing activities.
Starting from the foundations of media pedagogy (teaching technologies, WITH technologies and INSIDE
technologies), we will deepen our knowledge about the tools and environments suitable for digital
teaching; an important mention will make us reflect on the critical issues of the network and the Web and
on the role of technologies in media education.
With reference to constructivist and socio-constructivist paradigms, to multimedia theories, and to the
principles of ID - Istructional Design, we will acquire skills for the production of LO (Learning Object), linked
to gamefication.

At the end of the training course, students must have acquired knowledge to list, describe and analyze
some information and multimedia technologies to support teaching; in detail they will have to be able to:
• define the fundamental concepts of computer science
• describe the applications of information technology in the knowledge society
• to describe the synergies between technology and the Web and the related critical issues
• describe the educational potential of media education
• illustrate the fundamental concepts and tools of multimedia
• illustrate multimedia applications in communication and entertainment
• define the principles of Multimedia Learning by Mayer
• describe the characteristics of online teaching and mobile learning
• describe the different formats and characteristics of digital and multimedia contents
• illustrate the functions of an LMS (Learning Management System) platform
• design and implement a LO, Learning Object linked to the gamefication.
