Multimedia Story DRAFT

For my multimedia story project I am going to walk from my apartment to the top of Mount Tolmie.

On this adventure I am going to observe how going outdoors and then into nature can change my mindset, stress levels and emotions. I’m going to stop and check in at multiple points on the journey and note my surroundings, the noise level, the amount of people around, and my thoughts and feelings in that moment.

The shape of the story will revolve around how going outdoors into nature and moving one’s body can impact our mindset and emotions. Also, to investigate the progression of my mindset as the adventure progresses.

The equipment I will need for this adventure will be:

  • Proper walking footwear
  • Headphones with a microphone for quality narration
  • A fully charged phone for recording
  • A water bottle
  • A notebook and pen

The media I’m going to use are:

  • Short Video clips
  • Pictures
  • Audio recordings

To integrate the media in alignment with Mayer’s Principles of Multimedia Learning, I will make the content engaging and easy to process. To apply the coherence principle I will avoid any unnecessary effects, sounds, or visuals that could distract from the purpose of the adventure. Also I will integrate the modality principle by combining visuals with spoken narration, and by not using large amounts of on screen text. I will also keep the redundancy principle in mind by minimizing the use of text during a narrated presentation.

All About Me!!!

Hi everyone!!!

My name is Jenna and I’m in my 4th year majoring in biology. I’m planning to hopefully graduate the spring of 2027!

In my biology degree, I have learned that I am very interested in the human and animal biology classes, rather than plant biology. In the last few semesters I have enjoyed courses like chordate zoology and animal physiology! The labs for those classes were the best part as they were very hands-on and interesting. For example in my animal physiology lab my group and I got to experiment how blood pressure and heart rate decrease differently whether you are standing vs laying down while recovering from intense exercise! It was so interesting that my partners and I got to participate ourselves then research the outcomes of the experiment and why we got certain results!

I grew up in Abbotsford with my parents, my brother, my grandma and my cat. Before moving to the island for university, I had only been to Victoria once and I loved it so much. When I moved here I didn’t know anyone, and I was so nervous about making friends. I got beyond lucky and met my best friend Holly on my first day on campus! Holly and I have been roommates now for 2 years and I live here in Victoria all year round now. Although, I do visit Abbotsford occasionally to see my hometown friends and family. This is my second summer I have spent here and I’m very excited for the warm and sunny days ahead.

My hobbies include going to the gym, hiking, exploring, painting, and reading.  Unfortunately during the school year I get very busy with studying so I’m very excited to get back into my favourite hobbies this summer. Since living in Victoria, I have discovered that I love going to the beach in my free time as well. I can’t believe that I am in walking distance to the beach now and can go very often. I recently visited Botanical Beach and Sombrio Beach and it was amazing and I can’t wait to explore more this summer! If anyone reading has any fun hiking suggestions, or cool beaches to visit please let me know!!

I do not have any experience with multimedia in education at all, so I’m very excited to learn lots of new things! I’m looking forward to learning how to navigate my blog, and connect with others in this course!
