Final Creative Project

This is a link to online tests that I have made. My project focuses on how methods of multimedia effected learning in education . Soon I will show the results I came up with by comparing the online tests results versus the handwritten tests results. The tests vary in difficulty.

After making these tests online, I had ten friends take each test in both written and computer form. As a result, each one of my friends preferred to take the online test because they enjoyed the "clean" look of the test opposed to the handwritten look. They thought it was easier to process what was being asked and easier to take the test. I thought this was interesting that all ten of my friends preferred the online test. Since i went home last weekend, I figured I could ask a wider range of people to take my tests. So I then went on to ask people from different generations to see which test they preferred. I thought it could just be a generational difference; I was somewhat correct. First i had my parents take the test. My parents did not mind taking the test online. In fact they were slightly in favor of the online test for some of the same reasons my friends enjoyed the online test. I then had all four of my grandparents take the test. Three out of my four grandparents liked the handwritten test because they all had difficulty using the computer/internet. The one exception was my grandfather from my father's side of the family. He is also the only grandparent of mine that uses computers/internet regularly. By going home and being able to test other generations, I was able to come to the conclusion that people who are used to using computers on a daily basis enjoyed the internet quiz more so than the handwritten quiz.

Collaborative Trailer

Since my project has to do with multimedia positively affecting learning and education, my part of the group trailer could consist of a series of pictures that demonstrates the evolution of teaching. First there could be a picture of a chalkboard with the letter grade "C." This could be followed by a textbook with the letter "B." Next could be a picture of a computer with the letter "A." This would demonstrate the evolution of learning and the subsequent "grade" or improvement in the student's education.
