This text is meant to be practical in that it describes ideas and step-by-step techniques that will bring life, expression, and learning to the application of various multimedia tools.

From the Back Cover

This book is for the many teachers and students who want to create media. It explores the unlimited educational-creative potential of combining digital media and technology with the expressive powers of traditional media production methods pioneered by the great media producers of the past. This practical text describes ideas and techniques that will bring life, expression, and learning to the application of various multimedia tools. The projects can be followed step-by-step or they can be modified and interpreted to match particular purposes and skills. The challenge is for the creator to use these projects to experiment, to try, to retry, and to create. The ideas, projects, and exercises in this book can be adapted to many teaching and learning situations.

Special Features

A multimedia tool kit containing software descriptions, tips on media production, and motivational concepts to make the expressive possibilities of multimedia production less daunting for novices (Ch 3).

A constructivist perspective to teaching and learning is emphasized in chapters 1 and 3.

A 3-step planning model consisting of pre-production, production, and post production that can be used for all projects in this book helps students organize the complexities of multimedia production.

Descriptions and methods for using digital video (Ch.6) to document and observe makes the tools of video production accessible for anyone.

Numerous pedagogical devices such as chapter outlines, problems, activities, key terms and illustrations make this complex subject easier to master.

5.0 out of 5 stars Multimedia for all people, Dec 21 2007

By Jeffrey Beard "Mulitmedia Man" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Multimedia Design and Production for Students and Teachers (Paperback)

I have had the opportunity to use this as a textbook as I have studied under Dr. Counts. However, it is an excellent resource for anyone who is interested in learning about designing and producing multimedia. Dr. Counts is the consummate professional in both the arts and technical production of film and multimedia in general. I highly recommend this book and any other publication by Dr. Counts.
