Learning in Depth (LiD) is an unusual program and tends, after the first simple description, to elicit enthusiasm from some people and hesitation from others. While the basic idea is quite simple, we think the potential implications of the program for students, teachers, and schools are profound. In most of our literature we suggest beginning LiD as children start school. This is the ideal, but not always possible for many teachers. If you teach grade 6, for example, and are attracted by LiD, there is no reason not to start then. “LiD has changed my children!!! “The kids love it!” (David Futter, teacher in Victoria, B.C.) “I have never experienced the kind of questions and interactions I now have with my students . . . (Linda Holmes, teacher in Langley, B.C.)
“The Learning in Depth project has brought to our students a completely new relationship to learning that has been surprising in its depth and quality.” (Sheri Dunton, teacher in Corbett, OR) (Darren Spyksma, principal in Nanaimo, B.C.)

Multimedia is usually recorded and played, displayed, or accessed by information content processing devices, such as computerized and electronic devices, but can also be part of a live performance. Multimedia devices are electronic media devices used to store and experience multimedia content.
Multimedia is distinguished from mixed media in fine art; by including audio, for example, it has a broader scope. The term "rich media" is synonymous for interactive multimedia. Hypermedia can be considered one particular multimedia application. Categorization of multimedia[edit] Multimedia may be broadly divided into linear and non-linear categories. Multimedia presentations can be live or recorded. Major characteristics of multimedia[edit] Multimedia games and simulations may be used in a physical environment with special effects, with multiple users in an online network, or locally with an offline computer, game system, or simulator. A lasershow is a live multimedia performance. Terminology[edit] Fair Use Act for Educators. Fight for Library. InfoWhelm and Information Fluency. Media Literacy.

Information literacy. The United States National Forum on Information Literacy defines information literacy as " ... the ability to know when there is a need for information, to be able to identify, locate, evaluate, and effectively use that information for the issue or problem at hand. "[1][2] Other definitions incorporate aspects of "skepticism, judgement, free thinking, questioning, and understanding... A number of efforts have been made to better define the concept and its relationship to other skills and forms of literacy. History of the concept[edit] The phrase information literacy first appeared in print in a 1974 report by Paul G. The Presidential Committee on Information Literacy released a report on January 10, 1989, outlining the importance of information literacy, opportunities to develop information literacy, and an Information Age School. The Alexandria Proclamation linked Information literacy with lifelong learning.
On May 28, 2009, U.S. Presidential Committee on Information Literacy[edit] Curriculum. In formal education, a curriculum (/kəˈrɪkjʉləm/; plural: curricula /kəˈrɪkjʉlə/ or curriculums) is the planned interaction of pupils with instructional content, materials, resources, and processes for evaluating the attainment of educational objectives. This process includes the use of literacies and datagogies that are interwoven through the use of digital media and/or texts that address the complexities of learning. Other definitions combine various elements to describe curriculum as follows: All the learning which is planned and guided by the school, whether it is carried on in groups or individually, inside or outside the school.
