Title:When is Multimedia Not the Answer? When Faculty Expertise and Instructional Design Fundamentals Unite! (ID: EDU05051)
Author(s):Ryan Paige Looney (University of Virginia) and Ellen C. Ramsey (University of Virginia)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/19/2005)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
