Baron, A., Ivers, R. (2006). Multimedia Projects in Education: Designing, Producing and Assessing (3rd Ed), Libraries Unlimited Westport, CT.

A great teacher resource using the DDD-E model (Decide, Design, Develop and, Evaluate), explaining how to select and plan design challenges using a range of multimedia tools/resources. The book begins, delving into research of cooperative learning, multiple intelligences, and constructivism while providing practical ideas to implement these theories, through multimedia projects, into classrooms. The book focuses on student learning outcomes and suggests it is a good resource for undergraduate and graduate level students in educational technology courses. Challenges come with scenarios, overviews, topics and reproducible worksheets that can be easily adapted for different levels, as well as assessment rubrics.
