**Module 2 Planning the Workshop** Post your responses to these questions in your wiki by **Day 7** of **Week 4**. Sketch out a plan for the workshop you will create in Modules 3, 4, and 5, including pre-training, presentation of key concepts/content/skills, a graphic organizer, and an authentic assessment activity for your participants. Answer the following questions on the planning page in your Working Wiki: How will you include Mayer’s principle of active processing in your authentic assessment activity? What kind of product will your participants create to demonstrate their learning using multimedia technology? What kind of multimedia presentation must you create to effectively present key concepts and skills to your participants (video, PowerPoint, podcast, screencast, interactive tutorial, or other)? How will you include Mayer’s principles of dual coding and limited capacity in your presentation? What kind of graphic organizer would be best to give your participants to help facilitate learning in your workshop? What concepts in your presentation will require pre-training before you begin the workshop? How will you use multimedia to engage your learners during the pre-training phase? What equipment will you need to conduct your workshop (projector, laptops for each pair of participants, Internet connections, other)? What online applications might you use? How will your participants collaborate on their projects? How will you group them to create authentic assessment in your workshop? (Post your responses to these questions in your Working Wiki by **Day 7** of **Week 4**.)
 * Determine what authentic assessment activity you would like to include in your workshop.
 * Create a page in your Working Wiki to begin planning your workshop.
 * Develop an agenda for your workshop and place it in the title page of your Working Wiki. Outline each segment and include the time allotted for each activity.
 * Sketch out a plan for the multimedia elements you will create in Modules 3, 4, and 5, including pre-training, presentation of key concepts/content/skills, a graphic organizer, and an authentic assessment activity for workshop participants. You may want to include a page in your Working Wiki for each of these assignments.
 * Create a page in your Working Wiki to copy and paste the workshop rubric for easy reference.
 * //Devise a Plan//**
 * 1. Authentic Assessment Activity:** Now that you have determined the topic for your workshop, you can start thinking about the kind of authentic assessment activity you would like to include. **//Begin with the end in mind//** and decide what kind of product you would like your participants to create to demonstrate that they can apply the principles/content/skills they learned in the workshop.
 * 2. Presentation:** Determine what kind of presentation would be most engaging so participants can learn the basic concepts and skills needed to complete the authentic assessment activity.
 * 3. Graphic Organizer:** After you develop a general outline for your workshop, create a graphic organizer to help focus participants’ attention on the key points of your presentation. This organizer will help participants actively engage and focus on key points in the presentation.
 * 4. Pre-Training:** When you have an overview of the concepts and skills you are presenting, you may decide that there is a need for pre-training to provide advanced teaching for your participants. Mayer suggests that this can help clarify concepts that may confuse learners and “set the stage” for learning. Pre-training should take place as an activity or introduction prior to the beginning of your presentation. Think of a creative, yet effective way to accomplish this task.
 * //Begin Development//**
 * Working Wiki:** Now that you have determined the authentic assessment activity you want to develop for your workshop, create a page in your wiki where you can begin planning. (Note: This page will not be available to your participants.) Your Instructor will check on your progress throughout the quarter. As you complete your projects, you will embed or insert them into your Presentation Wiki.
 * Agenda:** Create a tentative agenda for your five-hour workshop and post it to the title page of your Working Wiki. Outline each segment and include the time allotted for each activity. Be sure to consider how much time you need to teach each element of the workshop (i.e., how to use the technology chosen for the authentic assessment activity, present key ideas, and so forth).
