Hi everyone! My name is Xinh, and I am a fourth year student in the Health Information Science program at UVic. Throughout my curriculum, I completed three co-ops with the Provincial Health Services Authority, Fraser Health, and Island Health. During my work terms, I participated in projects where new applications were being launched across the organization, and I was often tasked with creating quick reference guides to support learning. Additionally, at the end of each co-op, I created various training materials for subsequent co-op students to facilitate knowledge transfer. The training materials I produced came in different forms, such as word documents with embedded images, interactive PowerPoints, videos, and more.

Given the nature of the tasks I was assigned during my co-ops, I decided to take EDCI337 to learn more about how different media types can impact learning. For instance, a few questions I have are: which media types are most effective to facilitate learning, and is it beneficial for learners if several media types are combined? Additionally, I have previously taken EDCI338 and EDCI339, and thoroughly enjoyed the content of those courses; therefore, I believe EDCI337 will be another exciting class for me. I am looking forward to our next few weeks together!
