Interdisciplinary Middle Years Multimedia Model The
Interdisciplinary Middle Years Multimedia (IMYM) model grew out
of the successful curriculum-based research and development
project of the same name, which was piloted in the years
1995-2001. The IMYM model demonstrated how the infusion of
information and communication technologies (ICT) with promising
instructional practices such as inquiry and constructivism could
add value to teaching, learning, and assessing. IMYM was
assessed internally using action research strategies and
externally by a Canadian educational research company. The IMYM
model was piloted in nearly 100 rural and urban schools
throughout Manitoba and is still being implemented voluntarily
in schools and school divisions across the province. Since 2005,
the Literacy with ICT Across the Curriculum initiative carries
on with the model first developed by IMYM.
