  • Introduction
    MERLOT Journal of Online Learning and Teaching Vol. 5, No. 2, June 2009 Integrating Online Multimedia into College Course and Classroom: With Application to the Social Sciences Michael V. Miller Department of Sociology The University of Texas at San Antonio San Antonio, TX 78249 USA [email protected] Abstract Description centers on an approach for efficiently incorporating online media resources into course and classroom. Consideration is given to pedagogical rationale, types of media, locating programs and clips, content retrieval and delivery, copyright issues, and typical problems experienced by instructors and students using online resources. In addition, selected media-relevant websites appropriate to the social sciences along with samples of digital materials gleaned from these sites are listed and discussed. Keywords: video, audio, media, syllabus, documentaries, Internet, YouTube, PBS Introduction Multimedia resources can markedly augment learning content by virtue of generating vivid and complex mental imagery. Indeed, instruction dependent on voice lecture and reading assignments alone often produces an overly abstract treatment of subject matter, making course concepts difficult to understand, especially for those most inclined toward concrete thinking. Multimedia can provide compelling, tangible applications that help breakdown classroom walls and expose students to the external world. It can also enhance learning comprehension by employing mixes of sights and sounds that appeal to variable learning styles and preferences. Quality materials, in all, can help enliven a class by making subject matter more relevant, experiential, and ultimately, more intellectually accessible. Until recently, nonetheless, film and other forms of media were difficult to exploit. They had to be located, ordered, and physically procured well in advance either through purchase, library loan, or broadcast dubbing.

Tomsen is currently writing a book on Afghanistan, the working title of which is "Afghan Nightmare: The Rise and Retreat of Muslim Extremism in Afghanistan. (MIDDAY 10/04/04) Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Richard Holbrooke explained why he believes George W. Bush has mishandled the War in Iraq at the Cleveland City Club Forum on Thursday.

(MIDDAY 10/08/04) Our guest, Roger Brokaw was an Army interrogator in the Iraqi prison of Abu Ghraib, which was made famous six months ago when photos surfaced documenting naked, bloodied Iraqis in humiliating poses surrounded by smiling U.S. soldiers.

McPartland has hosted Piano Jazz since 1979, conversing and performing with jazz legends. McPartland is a legend in her own right. Born in England, she was a piano prodigy by age three and received classical training during her teens. After joining a four-piano vaudeville act, she toured Europe during World War II, entertaining Allied troops. While on that tour, she met and married cornetist Jimmy McPartland. The multitalented McPartland went on to compose such jazz standards as “Twilight World” and “In the Days of Our Love,” form her own jazz trio, form her own jazz recording label, write a shelf-full of books about jazz, and play with most of the jazz giants of the mid-20th century.
