This podcast of the TOAST EDU, Sam Fraulino, the instructional multimedia developer will discuss digital media.  So what exactly is digital media? Is it graphics you upload to your Canvas course?  It’s video, audio, software, or other content that is created, edited, stored, or accessed in digital form.  We know in today’s fast paced digital world as well with the rapid changes in higher education, the distribution of digital media will soon outpace the creation and distribution of standard print newspapers, magazines, and textbooks.

The main benefit of digital media in education is that it can increase student engagement. In addition, it helps students work through difficult concepts with multiple resources.  It can fuel creativity as well, especially if your student has a hand in the creation of the content.
