**1. How does the use of multimedia training modules assist in the learning of hands-on MM Skills?** One main factor that stands out with the models benefit is that it not only has written instructions but it also provides visuals both in picture and as a step by step instruction which helps visual learners. With the inclusion of sound it heightens the learners understanding of what they are reading. By having all these MM instructions along side the hands on approach students are then able to practice as they hear the instruction.

** 3. How does the learning of making video benefit the learning of students? ** For students with learning difficulties or the students that find it easier verbalising their understanding the use of video allows them to take away the added pressure of a written piece of assessment. This type of learning also allows those that are creative or artistic to deepen their understanding. It is also beneficial for students to watch themselves, which allows for self-evaluation. ** 4. What are the problems and issues in students learning how to produce their own video? ** As with all areas it is important that the students do not abuse their privilege of accessing these technologies and that the content produced is for educational purpose. It is also important that the safety and integrity of others is considered. There is also the importance that students are aware that once it is on the internet it is there forever. There are also issues such as schools not having enough or any of the technologies needed. Students must also be taught about visual literacy and the process.
