Action Research Project Evaluating Curriculum Revisions Using iMovie’s Ken Burns Effect
Catherine Aki, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, caki@hawaii.edu

This action research project evaluated a revised annual student multimedia iMovie unit by focusing on how to present pictures in video by 31 sixth grade students at a rural Molokai school. The curriculum design was revised to teach more learners how to manipulate still pictures in a video project. The action research project evaluated the modifications and revisions to the still pictures module. It is called the Ken Burns Effect. Results indicated that most students could use the effect and therefore manipulate still pictures in a technically correct manner. Project implications for the future suggest revising other rubric module elements rather than isolating just one aspect.
