Multimedia journalism teaching: 10 things I learned One way to teach multimedia reporting skills (by which I mean use of the reporting tools, not HTML and scripting) is to have an intense, short boot camp. Three days, five days maybe, with long hours each day. Another option is to integrate the skills into a full 3-credit course - call it "multimedia reporting," or just change the existing Reporting 101 course to include the current tools. I like both of those options, but this semester I tried a third option: Students enrolled in the regular 3-credit reporting course could take an additional 1-credit course in multimedia reporting. They were permitted to enroll only if they were also taking the reporting course. (They have previously completed a 3-credit mass media writing course.)
