Product Description:

This study examined outcomes of using a generative multimedia environment for writing. Students in grades 9 to 12 enrolled in a special education language arts class participated in an 8-week intervention during which they wrote five stories, which included pictures, audio and text. Stories were scored using a Hawaii standards-based rubric assessment. Statistically significant differences were found when scores on their first and last stories were compared. Teams with lower pretest scores appeared to benefit the most from the intervention. A teacher interview revealed several affective outcomes in student writing behaviors, student engagement and motivation.
