    Abstract
    Modern day youths are known for their tech savvy ways and dependency on digital devices. They choose to spend their free time in front of a digital screen chatting, taking and sending photos, playing games, drafting emoji messages, etc. These youths are then expected to attend school and remove all electronic devices and pay attention for 6+ hours a day in each seat for at least 40-minute intervals. The relevancy to learn is lost; students can hardly see any relevancy in the content being learned at school with their own lives filled with technology and immediate driven results. Thus, it is imperative that educators evolve right along with society to ensure students are engaged and motivate to learn while still obtaining the necessary knowledge and skills for future successes. Educators must adapt 21st Century skills within their curriculum to better support students’ success in the modern world. Unfortunately, teachers lack adequate instruction for our 21st Century learners due to unsupportive administration and lack of resources to name a few. It is up to modern day educators to find the balance between content and 21st Century skills and inspire our current day screenagers to become successful adults in society post-graduation.

      Evaluating The Effective Design Of Web-Based Learning Environments For Promotional Marketing Team Directives

      Swistak, Lydia (2014-05-01)
      This project seeks to evaluate the use of proper design choices in the development of Web based learning tools, specifically instructional videos for developing successful promotional marketing campaigns, and asks can the use of proper design choices capture the learner’s attention, while being relevant to their needs, increase their confidence and provide overall satisfaction? For the project, I created a series of instructional videos using Microsoft PowerPoint and Camtasia II for Mac, a screen recording software product and created a Google Site to organize and host the videos. The website URL is: https://sites.google.com/site/powerofpromotion/. The videos detail the step-by-step process of developing an effective promotional marketing campaign utilizing Progressive Disclosure techniques from of the Universal Principles of Design, as described by Lidwell, Holden and Butler (2003). The videos are comprised of strong visuals and narrations that combine with to-the-point dialogue and information to conclude that the use of strong design elements when combined with will lead to a successful instructional web-based learning tool.

      Developing Digital Stories to Accommodate Multiple Learning Styles in a Healthcare Environment

      Bushinger, Erin (2012-04-01)
      This project looks at why digital storytelling may be an appropriate learning tool for hospital nurses and if so, how to best develop digital stories to support caregivers’ multiple intelligences. For this project, I developed two digital stories – one from a patient perspective and one from a caregiver perspective. It is through these stories and feedback from nursing staff at a nonprofit hospital in Upstate New York that I was able to learn if the stories I created positively impacted nursing staff by educating them on important topics in patient care and safety. I also use cognitive learning theory to determine where the strengths and weaknesses of digital storytelling lie. This study tested the assertion, supported by related literature, that digital stories are excellent learning tools because they accommodate people’s different learning styles, and this may affect teaching techniques. In healthcare, a world where evidence-based practices are critical, digital stories are being promoted and used to teach nurses valuable lessons that can’t be taught by statistics or research findings (Haigh & Hardy, 2011). Through this study, I was able to recommend to the hospital that they should in fact use digital storytelling as an educational tool. I recommended that they do this using the following methods: hold a digital storytelling contest with nursing staff, use digital stories produced by hospital staff during new employee orientation, use digital stories as educational tools during hospital in-services and education days, gather before and after stories from nursing staff to see if behaviors changed based on the digital story they watched, investigate the benefits and opportunities for reflection and transformational learning provided by the digital storytelling process, and use digital stories as educational tools on certain nursing units while providing other nursing units with written stories to see if digital stories changed behaviors more than written stories.
