Hi Donna:
Selecting media really takes some thought and planning. There are so many media choices and instructional methods to choose from - we wan to find the ones that will be most efficient in teaching the student well, and in an enjoyable manner that's interesting and memorable.
I use the course objectives and student learning outcomes as a starting point. Then I reflect on my own experience and think about "how can I get this across". Keeping the end in mind also helps decide what may work best.
