This document discusses the role of multimedia in education. It defines multimedia as communicating in multiple ways using elements like text, audio, video, graphics, animation, and interactivity. Multimedia can enhance teaching by allowing annotations during live lectures, freeing teachers from blackboards, and facilitating collaboration. It also reviews types of multimedia presentations and considers criteria for creating presentations in PowerPoint. The document outlines the four basic functions of the Internet in education: searching for and receiving information, publishing and providing information, communicating, and collaborating. It discusses best practices for multimedia development and the standard phases of multimedia production.

2. DEFINITION OF MULTIMEDIA
From the words ‘multi’ and
‘media/medium’
Multi – refers to many or multiple
Media/medium – is a tool, vehicle or agent
to present or convey something
Multimedia is all about communicating in
several ways

3. MULTIMEDIA ELEMENTS
AUDIO
TEXT VIDEO
MULTIMEDIA
SYSTEM
GRAPHIC ANIMATION
INTERACTIVE

4. THE ROLE OF MULTIMEDIA
PRESENTATION IN EDUCATION
Teachers to develop simple effective
presentation for small group, a class or
web-based presentation
Students to develop a presentation based
on a task assigned or research

5. THE ROLE OF MULTIMEDIA
PRESENTATION IN EDUCATION
They can lecture better using slide
presentations.
They can annotate existing files live while
lecturing.
They are freed from physical proximity to
the blackboard.
Technology enhances collaboration
among teachers.

6. WHY USE MULTIMEDIA
TECHNOLOGY?
User friendly interface
Meaningful and ease of use
Interactivity
Self-paced interaction
Cost effectiveness with greater efficiency

7. MULTIMEDIA HARDWARE AND
SOFTWARE
HARDWARE SOFTWARE
 Input devices  Text
 Output devices  Graphic
 Audio
 Video
 Animation

8. INTERACTIVITY OF
MULTIMEDIA

9. INTERACTIVITY OF MULTIMEDIA
Linear presentation Non-linear presentation
Main Page
Scene 1 Scene 2 Scene 3 Scene 3
hypertext hypermedia
start continuous end
Home video

10. Types of Multimedia Presentation
3 categories of multimedia presentation :-
linear
Presents information in sequence from the
beginning till the end
Navigation controls allow users to move
forward or to the previous page

11. Types of Multimedia Presentation
Start Scene 1 Scene 2 Scene 3 End
Linear presentation

12. Types of Multimedia Presentation
Non-linear simple
Centralised information presentation
Consists a menu which connects between
information
Navigation controls allow users to reach
information in the first slide, second and so on.

13. Types of Multimedia Presentation
Start
Fourth slide
First slide Main Menu
Third slide
Second slide
Exit
Non-linear simple

14. Types of Multimedia Presentation
Non-linear complex
All slides are connected directly.
Users’ navigations in any slides can be moved
freely.
Each slides has connections directly and are
allowed to return to any slides.

15. Types of Multimedia Presentation
Start
Main Menu
First slide Fourth slide
Second slide Exit Third slide
Non-linear complex

16. Criteria of MS Powerpoint
Create & customize slide master- can edit
slide master such inserting logo,pictures,
etc.
Extract Narration
Create web presentation
"internal hyperlinks" that connect one
slide to another, complete with "action"
and "return" buttons.

17. Criteria of MS Powerpoint
set up "custom shows," - allow to specify
which slides of a presentation should be
shown, and in what order... without having
to "hide" or rearrange slides via slide
sorter view.
set slide timings, create automatically
repeating slide shows, and even record
narration.

18. Criteria of MS Powerpoint
able to "annotate" slides during a
presentation, with electronic "pencils,"
"felt-tipped pens," or "highlighters"... and
save your annotations

19. MEDIUM OF DELIVERY
Standalone Web-based
application application
 An application that is  An application that is
accessed from storage accessed with a web
devices browser over a network
 Such as  Such as
Floppy-disk The internet
Hard disk The intranet
CD ROM
DVD ROM

21. THE USE OF INTERNET
In education

22. FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE
INTERNET
Grey (1999) has identified four ways in
which the internet can function as an
educational tool in the classroom and
these four ways are also applicable in
ESL/EFL classrooms.

23. FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE
INTERNET
1. Search for and receive
2. Publish and provide
3. Talk to and reply
4. Collaborate and learn

24. FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE
INTERNET
Search for and receive
Comprises activities that are based on
using the internet as a huge virtual
library.
In these activities students search for
and retrieve information from this library.

25. FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE
INTERNET
Publish and provide
These activities involve not the retrieval,
but the publication of information.
This publishing is done on web pages,
which are the basic places where
information is stored on the internet.

26. FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE
INTERNET
Talk to and reply
These are conversational activities that
take place via the internet through email
correspondence and in ‘chat’ rooms.
This category could also include
internet phone conversations.

27. FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE
INTERNET
Collaborate and learn
This category includes joint projects
that involve students in two or more
classrooms that might be thousands of
miles apart.
This fourth way of integrating the
internet usually involves one or more of
the other three ways.

28. MULTIMEDIA DEVELOPMENT
User interface principles
Provide an organize structure
Provide a simple design
Keep the user interface visible
Provide informative feedback
Keep the user interface flexible
Minimize memory load
Provide shortcuts for frequent users

29. MULTIMEDIA DEVELOPMENT
Development team
Project manager
Designer
Content specialist
Writer
Video specialist
Audio specialist
Programmer
Producer

30. MULTIMEDIA PRODUCTION
PLANNING
PRODUCTION
DESIGN
DEVELOPMENT
TESTING
PUBLISHING

31. 1. PLANNING
The business model, schedule, media
plan and focus group is determined

32. 2. PRODUCTION
Material and assets for building the
application is produced and managed
Involves with planning and scheduling the
resources for the application

33. 3. DESIGN
Effort responsible for creating a detailed
blueprint for the multimedia application
Such as conceptual overview, storyboard,
layout, interface design and information
design

34. 4. DEVELOPMENT
All the content is created and processed
All the content and media used in the
application is integrated to become one
complete application

35. 5. TESTING
To ensure the application is free from bug
and will be accepted by the user
Of there a bug, the application should be
revised and be tested again until the
application is free from bug

36. 6. PUBLISHING
Once the application is tested and
revised, it could be burned into a CD-ROM
or published on the internet as a website
