Description: The Open Learning Multimedia Project website provides TRU Open Learning developers with research-based resources to enhance course design. Led by Dr. Verena Roberts, the project includes contributions from OL developers and TRU research students. The website features three key components: concise guides based on The Cambridge Handbook of Multimedia Learning (2021), an annotated bibliography of emerging multimedia literature, and links to TRU’s multimedia resources. Organized with WordPress #tags, the site makes it easy for developers to explore discipline-specific examples, connect ideas, and find practical tools to integrate multimedia effectively into Open Learning courses.
