Abstract: The Tools, Tasks, and Strategies (TTS) Framework for integrating technology in classrooms provides educators with procedures for considering and evaluating the various components of a technology-enhanced lesson in isolation, and when integrated for an instructional purpose. This is useful in the fast-changing world of multimedia learning where tools are changing quickly, and educators are constantly challenged with upgrading their skills to use media tools effectively. In this paper we describe how a university multimedia education course was re-invented using TTS in order to provide it fully online in a form accessible on a variety of platforms, including many mobile devices
