 * Using Audio and Video Tools to enhance adult student learning: the case of an Information Technology masters degree program capstone course**

Audio-video tool in use in a Golden Gate University masters level capstone course is discussed; the tool is narrated PowerPoints. Instruction in this course is presented using narrated PowerPoints in both online and face to face versions of that course. Students may elect to use the same technologies in selected situations.

The application of narrated PowerPoint is discussed both as one exemplar of an educational "best use" of technology, as well as being representative of some of the conceptual and implementation challenges such tools present.

Theory involving audio and visual learning is discussed, and an evolving model supported by our institution is shown. Other tools available, some in use in courses, are briefly discussed. The role of our online teaching entity, Cybercampus (www.ggu.edu/cybercampus) is also discussed. It is noted also that the university is currently considering formalizing the role of such tools in courses, development, web presence, and marketing.
