Modern educational technology: some aspects of multimedia application in teaching

Abstract

Information and communication technologies have changed the world. The educational system must adapt to these changes, unless a gap between the educational process in schools and ways of acquiring knowledge in everyday life will be formed. The differences could lead to alienation between education and its main hinge -student. Multimedia learning organizations in schools certainly reduce these differences. Saving time, higher interest, higher activity of students and easier to remember are some features of multimedia teaching. Society of knowledge, that we seek for, implies such modern methods of training competencies, which enables more effective lifelong learning and adjusting to the dynamic business environments. This paper explores some aspects of the application of multimedia in educational process, and addresses with special attention the issue of criteria for the selection of models and didactic teaching strategies embedded in multimedia.
