Instructional Multimedia Project: The DESIGN Phase

Outline

**Project Title:** __**Essential Blackboard Tutorials**__

**General Goal:** The general goal of the project is to produce a series of tutorials to be used in the the common and established operations and activities of CMS (Content Management Software) software named Blackboard. **Specific Outcomes:** Some of the results of this project will be to create tutorials using a dual communications approach. The first method of instruction will be a series of video tutorials. These videos will cover each topic listed in the content outline and will use a chronologically procedural strategy. This means that each one will cover the exact series of steps to discharge the various tasks being taught. A second method of instruction will be a graphic display with a series of pictures illustrating the proper procedures in the correct order. This method will have a series of jpeg or pdf files that will allow the user to download them for future reference. **Audience:** This project is targeted to the faculty of USC Aiken. The final webpages will be publicly accessible and can be used or viewed by anyone.
