Project Description

This project aims to address the lack of awareness and understanding among new graduates in Educational Technology and potential employers about the roles and responsibilities of Educational Technologists. By creating a comprehensive multimedia presentation, we seek to inform both audiences about the valuable skills and potential contributions of Educational Technology graduates.

Target Audience

• Prospective Students: Individuals aged 25-27 with an educational background, basic technology skills, and a willingness to collaborate.

• Employers: Companies interested in hiring Educational Technology program graduates.

The Gap

Challenge: New graduates often lack practical insights into the field, and employers may not fully understand the valuable skills these graduates bring to the workplace. This project aims to bridge this awareness gap, ensuring graduates are well-informed about their roles and employers recognize their potential.

The Solution: A 3-5 minute multimedia presentation hosted on a web page. This presentation will:

• Inform employers about the key aspects of Educational Technologists' roles.

• Provide an understanding of the impact graduates can offer in various career paths within Educational Technology.

• Answer frequently asked questions, cover the history of technology, and outline the skills, responsibilities, and potential earnings of Educational Technology graduates.

Project Goals

1. Inform Employers: Highlight the roles and skills of Educational Technologists.

2. Educate Graduates: Provide practical insights into their future roles.

3. Bridge the Gap: Ensure both parties understand each other's expectations and contributions.

Project Approach

• Platform: A web page for accessible and organized information distribution.

• Multimedia Presentation: To engage and inform through visual and audio elements.

• Design Principles: Adhering to best practices to avoid cognitive overload and enhance recall.
