Media facilitation pertains to the abilities of new technology to digitally process information and provide easy access to a variety of materials, functions, and communications. Cognitive engagement involves well known principles of learning through concretizing, activity, exploration, imagery, visualization, repetition, and feedback. The application of these principles in the digital environment is powerful new force in education with many technological and pedagogical advantages and will discussed in the first part of the workshop. Along with great potential, the digital media in education also has a number of new design problems that can easily negate the advantages. Web delivered courses are particularly susceptible to navigational problems.
