Effective Indicators

• Materials are optimized for web delivery:
• Larger PowerPoint, video and audio files are compressed
• Graphics photographs use web resolution standards
• Files are maintained on Smedia or Condor servers appropriately
• Multi-media materials support learning goals:
• Materials are integral to the learning goal (e.g. support diverse learning styles, present complex concepts in a visual manner)
