As a framework, SECTIONS offers comprehensive categories to consider when selecting media; a foundation to facilitate the process. Understanding that “media selection does not happen in a vacuum” (Bates, pg 309), the questions within each category are meant to be a guideline used in conjunction with the course development framework.
Before answering the SECTIONS questions, some groundwork will already have been done by answering initial questions about teaching and learning:
Using an inductive approach, answers to the SECTIONS questions will support the initial selection or highlight gaps in meeting requirements. It is important to keep an open mind to the possibility that the initial media selection may not meet the requirements. With experience, it will become easier to intuitively make initial selections and recognize which questions are not applicable to the situation (or if others may need to be added). In an upcoming exercise, SECTIONS will be used to evaluate media selection for specific course outcomes. The results will be documented in future blog post.
