Exploiting a variety of rich media web based content raises a number of issues and challenges for teachers. However it is essential that we face these challenges in order to develop our students‘ digital literacies and their ability cope with and assimilate information from a number of web based sources.

This session will look at how teachers can quickly create web based receptive skills tasks that limit the amount of information students have to deal with, while still helping them to develop the necessary skills to process information in a web based environment.
