ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Idaho State University
The purpose of this study was to analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate an online multimedia instructional module in a service-learning project program. In order to examine the effect on learner knowledge and resulting performance, an Information Technology Service-Learning-Based multimedia module for service-learning history, development, and function, and a researcher-created Service-Learning Technology Project Proposal rubric were developed and validated. Three Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs) made up the multimedia module that was developed following the ADDIE model of instructional design and a modified Delphi Method evaluation process with suggestions from a review panel of subject matter experts. Two graders rated the resultant proposals using the validated rubric which served as the form of assessment. A modified quasi-experimental, post-test, control-group design was used in this study. The participants of this research were enrolled in two class sections of a multimedia design course with one section serving as the experimental group (online) and the other as the control group (face-to-face). The experimental group was taught using the three RLOs within Moodle and Blogger learning management systems, while the control group attended a traditional face-to-face class and did not receive the three RLOs. The instructional treatment period was eight weeks. An independent t-test was used to analyze the project performance scores; results indicated there was no significant difference between the two groups in overall performance.
