Integrating Revised Bloom Taxonomy in Multimedia and HCI with a Case Study of Food Dishes

Abstract

Teaching multimedia and human computer interaction is an interesting task to the students in sultanate of Oman who are having innovative skills in multimedia design using tools. Designing a multimedia project with all advanced graphics techniques is a highly complex and complicated procedure in class room. Teaching activities are aligned to the improved bloom taxonomy to achieve self learning and critical thinking in students. The practice has been developed through practical implementations and considered as Project Based Learning (PBL). Students have developed the project starting from scratch, proceeding to the design and then implementation. A gradual approach allows students to recognize by the design the different concepts of graphics and human computer interaction(HCI) techniques that were introduced during the lectures. All the practical and tutorials are based on the instinctive realization of graphics techniques and then integrating to make the final project. The results were high positive and each student have made their own creativity. The levels of project has been covered all phases of improved bloom taxonomy in order to attain quality teaching and learning. An outline for multimedia and human interaction course and integration of revised bloom taxonomy is presented in this paper.
