As I designed Audio/visual instruction, I found it easier to approach than single media. I was better able to relate it to traditional face-to-face teaching, in terms of what information students need to be presented with, what they can access and how the media support one another. Some important points I've gotten from designing multimedia instruction: the balance of media supplementing each other while not overwhelming or distracting the others. To achieve this I found it important to consider what each medium would accomplish for the learner and how it would enhance the content, separately; then "layer" the media so that they interact in an efficient way. This multimedia design made me really consider "how" students obtain information and experience instruction (resources, content, format, etc.), and I see better how to be more mindful of this in instructional design and classroom teaching.
