The concept that affected me most,I think it should be the 6 principles of Johann Amos.By his mind I understand how can we study about different language and cultures,moreover,the most important thing is about his idea is still working for nowadays multimedia learning area.Especially the principle of making this acquisition of a compendium of knowledge a pleasure rather than a task,I think this is also a core concept of our multimedia learning.The basicly goal of multimedia learning I think is to make people study by a more efficent way.Everything we do should based on this core concept,and agter the study of other parts over the 8 modules,I can definitly feel about the importance of Johann Amos' mind how helped me to achieve the certain goal.That is why his idea affect me so much.

Mayer's 12 principles of multimedia learning has affected me the most throughout the course. Using different technologies or medium to learn information has become very popular in modern days. New technologies are also made for giving people a better learning and easier understanding. However, no matter what medium used, Mayer's principles illustrate the most effective way for people to learn through multimedia.

Re: When has the medium been more than the message for you?

Personally, I've experienced this phenomenon of "the medium being the message" during the process of applying for my internships/co-ops with Vancouver Coastal Health, and later, Fraser Health on the Lower Mainland.

For each of these three co-op terms, my colleagues and I had to write what appeared to be a seemingly never-ending stack of cover letters and resumes, sit through countless interviews, and wait in stressful anticipation for the release of placement results. Needless to say, I was not overly fond of this process. However, looking back, this process wasn't just about teaching students how to write cover letters and how to prepare for an interview. Rather, this application process was meant to teach students how to a) identify good job opportunities, b) develop effective verbal and written communication skills, and c) be more "in demand" than others applying for the same highly-desired position.

While I learned all these skills in the context of applying for jobs, I found that they are useful in other areas such as running a small business (e.g. wedding photography). In this industry you have to identify potential collaboration opportunities with other vendors (e.g. styled shoots), communicate with clients and/or vendors in both verbal and written formats, and find ways (beyond price) that will help you stand out from competitors in a highly saturated market. Therefore, while the content of the "internship/co-op hunt" experience helped me learn how to prepare effective job applications, I would say that the true value of it lies in the acquisition of the three above-mentioned skills.

I think should be a youtube makeup lesson

As a girl, I like to watch makeup videos from beauty bloggers on YouTube. In many cases, I focus on various cosmetics and makeup brushes of beauty bloggers, listen to them introduce the names of various cosmetics and appreciate them showing the various eyeshadow palettes and lipsticks they have, I don’t care What makeup techniques did they use to make their makeup today more docile or more unique? Many times, I’m just more interested in the introduction of cosmetics on YouTube, rather than how beauty bloggers can complete their makeup
