Cal Poly Pomona's faculty are world-class and among the most innovative and dedicated in the California State University system. MediaVision is another innovation inspired by Cal Poly Pomona faculty who have been using text-based web instruction for a number of years. Concerns for applying appropriate pedagogy have led to demands for the integration of audio and video tracks to supporting the goals of teaching and learning.
Different students learn in different ways.
Informed by education research, MediaVision employs a number of different learning senses to support different learning strategies. Use of multimedia, audio, video, and text based learning all contribute to the opportunity to employ different learning styles. Students can replay PowerPoint presentations, audio tracks or full screen real time video to revist the learning moments that punctuate their inclass experiences. For students who take advantage of MediaVision, the opportunity to review, revisit and recall an important point, a dramatic moment or a central debate are now only a click away. More than seventy percent of Cal Poly Pomona students work 25 or more hours a week.
