Tutorial- Multimedia

1. What is Multimedia?
    Multimedia is the field concerned with the computer-controlled integration of text, graphics, drawings, still and moving images (Video), animation, audio, and any other media where every type of information can be represented, stored, transmitted and processed digitally.

    A Multimedia Application is an Application which uses a collection of multiple media sources e.g. text, graphics, images, sound/audio, animation and/or video.
    (E.g., Hypermedia can be considered as one of the multimedia applications.)

What is Multimedia Technology?

     Multimedia technology refers to interactive, computer-based applications that allow people to communicate ideas and information with digital and print elements. Professionals in the field use computer software to develop and manage online graphics and content. The work that media technology specialists produce is used in various media, such as training programs, web pages, and news sites.

2. What is an interactive element?
          Interactive elements, available for Made to Order Templates, give your website visitors a way to click or view additional information on your website. For example, more information may become available the longer a visitor is on a page, or if a visitor clicks on a button they may see an expanded menu. These elements consolidate your content, keep your design clean and control how your audience consumes the information on your website.


3. How to evaluate multimedia materials?
        Evaluation of multimedia materials can be done by using 2 types of evaluation, which are Formative Evaluation and Summative Evaluation.

(A)Formative Evaluation

         Formative evaluation is done as a continuous process in the development of multimedia and even before the development process actually starts. Decisions taken at the beginning of the process of software development affect various aspects of the software. Answers to questions like who, why, where, and how become the guidelines for the development of the software. Depending upon the time and resources, both quantitative and qualitative methods of feedback are utilized in formative evaluation. No programme can fulfill all requirements of all learners. In fact, if a single programme can provide all the information, and answer all queries on a single topic, it should be considered successful. So, every software developer must decide and delimit the scope of the software beforehand. In other words, we have to spell out the objectives of the programme. Some questions like the following ones need to be answered because these will affect the content and the selection of technology: 


(i) Who are the target users of this software and what is the level of the target users? 
(ii) What is the level of computer familiarity expected of the learners? 
(iii) What would be the objective (in terms of content) to be covered by the programme? 
(iv) How will the programme be used? 

a. as supplementary to classroom teaching? 
b. as independent programme providing complete courseware? 

         Once decisions on the above are made, the cognitive aspects of learning are to be considered. The socio-cultural background of the target users will affect content selection and treatment of the topic. In arranging the content, the learning habits of the users would influence the decision about sequencing of information, quality of information (through various media) provided through every screen, and supplementary information to be provided through links. It is often mentioned that no programme should aspire to be complete or self sufficient, but it should lead the users to relevant information. The software developer should provide relevant links and the content expert should word the text and place other relevant media material in a manner that they raise more inquisitiveness in the learners and they go for further search and self study. 

(B) Summative Evaluation

         After the completion of the development of the programme, the software is released for use. The actual users, then, make suggestions and these suggestions form the basis of summative evaluation. Summative evaluation is the end of the project evaluation. Some programmes involve a number of teams to develop various components of larger software, which finally integrate into the end product. While working with Microsoft Office you must have used the numerous facilities it offers. For example if you click on the Accessories it provides Calculator, Games, etc. These must have been developed by different groups separately and then finally joined to make a final product. Summative evaluation, as mentioned earlier, should be conducted for each of the components and also for the final product. As summative evaluation is targeted at the end-users, in educational software a major focus of study is the software's . The teaching learning objectives identified during the needs analysis become the base of summative evaluation of academic software. Evaluation should keep the educational, entertainment, ease of use or design features in mind while conducting summative evaluation of these and then overall impact on learning. Suggestions on the basis of summative evaluation may be for (i) short-term and (ii) long-term changes in the programme. Short-term changes may be based on your own observations and the feedback from the users and the long-term changes may be made on the basis of the decisions of the curricular design and on the basis of suggestions given by the development agencies and the organisations using your software, if it is being used outside your institution.

《月夜之城》第一章~〉转世

       在一个冰冷且黑暗的夜晚,漂浮在天上的乌云遮盖了缺了一脚的月亮,黑暗无情地笼罩着大地。为了要去找资料,寒冰被逼独自一人去到了他学校那一到夜晚就空无一人的图书馆。那间图书馆之所以一到夜晚就没人在是因为那间图书馆曾经发生过事故,而且有人曾经死在里面。那晚的夜色比平常昏暗,也意外的比平常冷。因为寒冰想找的那些拥有他想找的资料的书在最角落,所以他只好硬着头皮,带着胆怯的心情,一步步地往无人图书馆的角落走去。

      走着走着,他终于到了他想要找的书那里,那就是那间图书馆的角落。意外的是,他发现那里跟平时他早上来的摆设不一样。忽然之间,他听到了“碰!”的一声,他带着害怕还有沙哑的声音对着声音的来源喊:“谁?是谁在哪里!不要在那里装神弄鬼!给我出来!我才不怕你呢!”

      虽然他全身都在发抖,但是他还是鼓起勇气连续喊了同样的话五分钟。过了五分钟,还是没有任何人回应他,他的周围还是一片宁静,只是此时的温度变得比刚才他进来的时候更冷了。这时,他才感觉有些地方不对劲,他赶紧拿起他手上唯一的手电筒,放弃了寻找他想要找的书,不管三七二十一地往出口冲。但是,他怎么走都走不出这个图书馆,就算他看到了出口在他眼前,可是下一秒他就会撞到类似结界的东西,然后出口的位置就改变了。寒冰感觉到他现在身处在一个迷宫里面,他闭起他的双眼,试试看会不会像电视剧中的情节,闭起眼睛,靠着直觉就能走出这个大迷宫。正好跟他想的差不多,他一闭起眼睛,他就听到某个女生娇滴滴的声音在叫他的名字,他闭着眼睛问:“你是谁?为什么会知道我的名字?”。

     那个女生带着类似高兴的声音说道:“寒冰,果然是你没错!我已经在这里等你500年了,终于等到你出现了!”

     “500年?那你不是人?你是妖还是鬼!不要过来,我没什么话可以跟你说!”

    “哼!人家才不是妖或是鬼呢!人家是精灵~不要乱乱说话!”

    “精灵?那么你为什么会出现在这里?”

    “我不是说了么,我在等你啊!”

    “等我?为什么?我又不认识你。”

    “拿着,等一下你看了就懂!嗯......我必须先走了,我的魔力不能维持太久。不过我们还会再见面的!”

    “喂!喂!不要走!”,忽然之间,虽然他看不见,但他感觉到一道强烈的光出现,然后一个说轻但不轻,说重也不重的物体就出现在寒冰的手上。他张开眼睛,看到他手上有一本褐色封面的类似拥有很多年历史书本,上面还缠绕着银色的锁链。在好奇心的驱使下,他解开了那些锁链,慢慢张开了第一页。第一面的封面写着《月城之夜》,往下一看,他惊讶的说不出话,因为书里的主角写着“寒冰”。接着,他露出了诡异的笑容,然后开始放声大笑了,“哈哈哈哈哈!我是主角?怎么可能?一定是搞错了?一定是跟我同名同姓的人,可是我能当主角我好骄傲啊!哈哈哈!”

    之后,他翻到第二页,然后开始开始继续看下去了。一页翻过一页,寒冰开始看上瘾了。那本《月夜之城》记载的是530年前发生过的故事,虽然寒冰觉得内容不真实,也或许可能是编出来的故事,但他还是忍不住继续看了下去。过了15分钟,他终于看完了那本书前面的故事简介。故事内容是关于寒冰,那就是《月夜之城》的主角,是凯撒纳翼堡城的二王子,原名是凯翼。雷萨,他解开封印,也解救了世界,但到最后他牺牲了自己,目的就是从恶魔贝璐赛吉尔那里救出他的妻子,那就是月夜城的公主,凯瑟。白莺。
