This document discusses different multimedia resources that can be used when orally presenting information. It defines multimedia as combining multiple media formats like text, audio, images, video and interactivity. A multimedia presentation is described as having interactive video, sound, links, images and animations. Different multimedia resources are then outlined, including text materials, PowerPoint slides, photographs, audio files, video presentations, and GIFs/other animations. The document provides examples of how each type of multimedia resource can be used when orally presenting.
2. Learning Objectives
use correct and appropriate multimedia
resources when orally giving information,
instructions, making explanations and
narrating events in personal or factual
recounts
4. The word multimedia comes
from two Latin roots, multi and
media: multi-, meaning several or
many, and media-, meaning in the
middle.
5. Moreover, multimedia is a broad term for
combining multiple media formats.
Whenever text, audio, still images,
animation, video and interactivity are
combined together, the result is
multimedia. Slides, for example, are
multimedia as they combine text and
images, and sometimes video and other
types
7. A multimedia presentation is a
presentation file which is not
limited to just text in terms of
content. For example, it would
have interactive video, sound,
links, images, animated gifs and
transitions in it.
9. Text Materials
Text is still a primary way to transmit
information. It is the simplest and
oldest resource. Text takes us back to
how the internet started, as a means
of sending written messages back
and forth between communicators.
10. This resource can be used in writing instructions,
making announcements, giving information,
narrating events and the list goes on. Simply
print your presentation on any paper, or have it
encoded as a word document.
Text is also used to augment other forms of
communication, such as a text description of a
photograph, subtitles of audio and video, in
slides, and many more
11. PowerPoint Slides
it is a presentation program
developed by Microsoft. PowerPoint
is often used to create business
presentations, but can also be used
for educational or informal purposes.
13. Photographs and Other Still Images
Illustrations are perhaps the oldest
form of media, Historically,
Gutenberg's printing press in the
1400's enabled mass distribution of
multimedia works containing both
text and images.
14. Photographs and Other Still Images
Text and images sometimes combine
in a single form, as many software
programs make it easy to create text
art, a form of lettering that combines
a strong visual element as well
15. Audio Files
Your website or presentation can add
sound, from a musical background to a
spoken explanation, by including audio
file.
Many sound files are compressed,
which reduces the file size without
greatly sacrificing sound quality.
16. Video Presentation
Video presents moving pictures and typically
combines images and sound for a
compelling multimedia experience.
With your camera phone, simply record a
video as you orally give information,
instructions, explanation or narration. You
can also make a vlog (short for video and
blog) and make contents of different subjects
17. GIFs and Other Forms of Animation
Animated files occupy a middle ground
between still images and video.
GIFs, which is an abbreviation for
graphic image files, are small files that
present a single image or rapidly
display a sequence of a few images to
give appearance of motion.
