Abstract

This article examines the use of an organizing metaphor, the walking tour, as a means of integrating learning activities with appropriate media support. The article pursues two themes; first, the effectiveness of the metaphor for knowledge acquisition activities, and second, the student-directed nature of the activities this approach fosters (the selective use of technology where it can be most effective). Of importance to both these themes is the notion that multimedia technology can enhance learning opportunities, but need not control the instructional agenda. It is not multimedia resources that make a difference in teaching, it is how they are used … if you do not have the appropriate conditions for learning, then the students will not learn [1].
