Designing Dynamic Online Lessons with Multimedia Representations Chareen Snelson, Boise State University Abstract The focus of this paper is on the use of multimedia representations in the online lesson. The information presented here may be of interest to online instructors with varied levels of experience, yet it is geared more toward those who are new to online teaching. A central feature of this paper is the importance of the lesson plan, which can include identification of how multimedia will be used to create instructional messages for the lesson. The potential exists to increase the quality of instruction through the careful use of static and dynamic multimedia representations. Support for the use of multiple representations is documented in the research literature.

student retention - student experience
student retention - student experience: "The Beatty-Guenter Retention Strategy Model:
Beatty-Guenter categorises retention strategies into 5 groups; sorting, supporting, connecting, transforming students and transforming the university.
Sorting and Supporting Strategies are both Reactive in that they are a coping response to either the characteristics of the applicants or to the students recruited. Connecting strategies are Integrative as they attempt to bridge the world of the student and the world of the university. Transforming strategies are Proactive as they aim to effect profound change on both the student and the institution.
Beatty-Guenter, concludes that the key to truly effective overall approaches to improving retention is balance between the five categories - both in terms of ensuring that the retention approach is not too heavily focused in one or two areas, but also ensuring that strategies in one category are complementary to those in another.

WCET 17th Annual Conference: "Join us….and re-imagine the academic ecosystem!
The WCET annual conference will be held at the Astor Crowne Plaza hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana, November 2-5, 2005.
In response to the increasing demands on higher education, institutions are finding creative ways to use e-Learning and other technology-supported services. Can some of the best practices from institutions around the world inspire a new image for higher education in a global economy? Can we develop a cohesive vision for a new academic ecosystem that incorporates what we have discovered about e-learning, both from our past errors and “e-llusions” and our current successes in policy, pedagogy, and services? Join us and find out.
Check out the program and make plans to attend the best conference on higher education's e-learning policies, practices, and services."
