It seems like life gets busier and busier, making it difficult to spend time enhancing courses for our students.  In their “Multimedia Principle” Clark and Mayer (2011) talk about the importance of including words and graphics in your course in to encourage active learning.  One easy way to facilitate this is by adding media to your course.  In this tutorial, we discuss three free alternatives for educational media including YouTube Eduction, iTunes U, and Khan Academy, and give you step by step instructions on finding this media and adding it to your course.
