A Project Report: Development of iPad-based Learning Materials about Media Production Instructions in a University

Abstract

We developed learning materials about media production for the iPad for elementary students. The materials focused on making presentation slides, newspapers, leaflets and videos. Each material includes six learning points, which helped students to reflect on their own activities. The learning points consist of a four-scaled rubric, samples of each description of the rubric, and explanation movies of the samples. In this paper, we described the development process of these learning materials. In addition, we conducted a questionnaire to confirm impressions of the students and analyze a practice of social studies in the 5th grade where the students used the materials on iPads. It was confirmed that their products actually improved considering the learning points in the materials.
