Activities Module Introduction The Desktop Publishing and Multimedia Activities Module provides 25 units
that demonstrate internal alignment between the measurable learner
objectives, the instructional activities and the assessments. Thirteen
Desktop Publishing and twelve Multimedia activities are provided in the
module. Purpose The twenty-five units are provided to supplement class activities and/or to
be used as end-of-unit projects. You may use any or all the units as they
are or modify them to fit your preferred format and your course curriculum.
The activities were developed to emphasize a direct relationship between
objectives and assessment. This process will help insure that the
assessment actually evaluates whether or not students have mastered the
stated objectives at an acceptable standard of performance. The student
assignments provide practice and completion of tasks to facilitate mastery
of the objectives. In addition, each unit is externally aligned with the
Missouri Show-Me Standards revealing how the course objectives reinforce
academic knowledge and performance and with the most recent National
Standards for Business Education, published in 2001. Description
Six major categories of the Desktop Publishing activities correlate with
six of the seven major categories of the Desktop Publishing competency
profile developed in 1998. Also, six major categories of the Multimedia
activities correlate with six of the seven major categories of the
Multimedia competency profile developed in 1998. An electronic version of
the Competency Profile may be accessed for use or modification at
http://www.mcce.org. The most recent National Standards for Business
Education can be purchased from the National Business Education
Association, 1914 Association Drive, Reston, VA 20191-1596 or (703) 860-
8300. A copy of the National Standards for Business Education can be
borrowed from the Missouri Center for Career Education's free loan library,
Resources@MCCE at http://www.resources.mcce.org.
Each unit is named for one of the competencies within the specific profile
part, but additional competencies as appropriate have been selected from
throughout the profile as measurable learner objectives (competencies) to
be mastered and assessed. Each unit includes an overview, teaching points, the student assignment,
and one or more assessments. Overview: The overview is a one- or two-page curriculum summary that gives
a general goal that defines the purpose of the unit. This goal is followed
by a grid that lists measurable learner objectives, identifies the Missouri
Show-Me Standards related to each objective, describes the activities, and
identifies the assessment document(s) to be used in evaluating mastery of
the objectives. The numbers in parentheses following the objectives
identify the competencies as they appear on the Desktop Publishing or
Multimedia competency profile. Teaching Points: These pages in each unit contain the following information
to help the instructor prepare to teach the unit:
. An Overview gives the rationale for and importance of the unit and a
more detailed summary of the tasks the student will complete.
. The Content Review outlines topics to be taught or reviewed.
. Activity Preparation includes suggested instructional strategies and
activities for the instructor to follow in teaching the concepts, use
of software, soft skills, etc. It also alerts the instructor to
special considerations that should be given to certain parts of the
assignment. Some units also include worksheets and/or instructional
information related to the concepts or tasks being presented.
. The Resources section provides the teacher with a list of supplies and
materials needed for t
