In 1996, Fresno City College (California) introduced a multimedia presentations class to increase learning efficiency and teach students the skills they need to compete in a technologically advancing society. The course, entitled "Classroom of the Future," was presented to the Dean of Instruction for approval in 1993. Funding was generated from various programs and grants, and the curriculum was developed in adherence to the Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) guidelines. The class required students to complete assigned tasks, work together in teams, acquire and evaluate data, and understand and actively participate in the computer system. At its conclusion, students presented a group multimedia project. An expanded course content involving work groups, multimedia application design, and multimedia tools offered further opportunity for skills development. Feedback indicates that multimedia is a valuable and cost-effective tool for learning, the use of which may inspire a kind of technological reform in education.
