This article investigates best practices in instructional design to assist in creating a multimedia learning object to supplement a face-to-face sophomore seminar. The course requires the completion of a degree plan that adheres to complex advising rules, creating stress for many students as well as causing a very advising-heavy load for instructors. The completed plan must be approved by a committee to ensure that these rules are upheld. This multimedia project was conceived to provide additional exposure to key information for students as they begin work on their degree plans.
