Multimedia resources consist of audio and video materials –

Brief audio or video recordings of what is being said or done – for example, a recording of a lecture (though care must be taken when undertaking this; recording and reproducing an entire lecture is generally a poor route to student engagement) Short interviews with colleagues and experts – for example, interviewing a philosopher about ideas Clips to be used actively for learning – for example: A video clip from a film to be used to provoke debate An audio clip from a foreign podcast to use as a listening exercise An audio clip of different heartbeats so medical students can learn to diagnose heart problems An animation demonstrating how a particular scientific process is carried out in a lab.
