摘要：The transformation of our lives through new technologies and globalisation presents educators with the challenge of helping students to develop the skills and competencies that will enable them to function successfully in this dynamic society. This article reports on a single-case pilot study conducted to trial and evaluate an educational program and support resources. The purpose of this research was to explore whether this educational program implemented within a technology-rich environment, incorporating teaching and learning strategies based on constructivist approaches, supports the development of multiliteracies. A Grade 10 English class in a high school in New South Wales, Australia participated in the educational program that involved the analysis, construction and evaluation of media and news items. The study addressed the question of how the participation in a media analysis and production curriculum unit, influences the development of multiliteracies. Students’ understanding and use of key media, information, visual and technological concepts, as well as their understanding and use of technology were explored. The findings suggest that the implementation of such a program can assist students in developing multiliteracies and that most students found the experience of digital video construction motivating. Based on the findings from the pilot study the educational program and resources were revised and refined prior to the implementation of the study across multiple cases in the subsequent academic year.
