- 5. Multimedia Defined Multimedia means two or more media: sound, images, text, animation, and video. When the term is used with computer technology, multimedia refers to a variety of applications that combine media and that use CD- ROM, video, audio, DVD, and other media equipment.
- 6. Introduction The world in which we live is changing rapidly the field of education is experiencing these changes in particular as it applies to Media Services. The growth in use of multimedia within the education sector has accelerated in recent years.
- 7. Teachers primarily require access to learning resources. which can support concept development by learners in a variety of ways to meet individual learning needs. The development of multimedia technologies for learning offers new ways in which learning can take place in schools and the home.
- 8. MULTIMEDIA ELEMENTS AUDIO TEXT VIDEO MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM GRAPHIC ANIMATION INTERACTIVE
- 9. Text text has the most impact on the quality of the multimedia interaction. acts as the keystone tying all of the other media elements together. It is well written text that makes a multimedia communication wonderful.
- 10. Sound enables teachers to present lots of information at once. Sound used creatively, becomes a stimulus to the imagination; For instance, a script, some still images and a sound track, allow students to utilize their own power of imagination without being biased
- 11. A great advantage is that the sound file can be stopped and started very easily.
- 12. Video The representation of information by using the visualization capabilities of video can be immediate and powerful. Video can be used to give examples of phenomena or issues referred to in the text For example, while students are reading notes about a particular issue,
- 13. a video showing a short clip of the author/teacher emphasizing the key points can be inserted at a key moment dramatic ability to elicit an emotional response from an individual. can provide a strong motivational incentive to choose and persist in a task.
- 14. Animation used to show changes in state over time to present information slowly to students primarily used to demonstrate an idea or illustrate a concept. Video is usually taken from life, whereas animations are based on drawings.
- 15. Graphics provide the most creative possibilities for a learning session. can be photographs, drawings, graphs from a spreadsheet, pictures from CD- ROM something pulled from the Internet the capacity of recognition memory for pictures is almost limitless
- 16. MULTIMEDIA HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE HARDWARE SOFTWARE Input devices Text Output devices Graphic Audio Video Animation
- 17. Educational Requirements Employing multimedia tools into the learning environment is a rewarding but complex and challenging task. All of the multimedia formats available: text, sound, video, animation and graphics, already exist in one form or another in most libraries. Students can explore an almost infinite variety of information.
- 18. Giving students an opportunity to produce multimedia documents of their own provides several educational advantages. Students work with the same information from four perspectives: 1. as researcher, they must locate and select the information needed to understand the chosen topic; 2. as authors, they must consider their intended audience and decide what amount of information is needed to give their readers an understanding of the topic;
- 19. 3. as designers, they must select the appropriate media to share the concepts selected 4. as writers, they must find a way to fit the information to the container including the manner of linking the information for others to retrieve.
- 20. When defining the appropriate medium to use it is vital to „know‟ the audience and the technical specification of users‟ machines. It is important to bear in mind the nature of the audience, especially their age group and culture mix.
- 21. Human – Computer Interface Multimediaapplications like any other application, appliance or tool, benefit from being easy to use,
- 22. Classroom Architecture and Resources The technology needed to support classroom teaching has increased in complexity. only a few years ago all that a lecture room needed were some seats for the students, and a blackboard and a lectern or table for the teacher. . Now there is the computer, networks and related display tools.
- 23. From having a next to zero maintenance cost, the teaching room is becoming not only costly to equip, but costly to run and maintain, including the escalating costs of security.
- 24. The live lecture in the digital theater is concurrently broadcast to the remote distance-learning site. Multimedia offers the lecturer many benefits satisfying educational objectives, increasing students understanding, demonstrating events, showing places, conducting experiments which would otherwise be impossible.
- 25. Many school reform models focus on a significant restructuring of the classroom. multimedia brings a new dimension to reading and writing, develop basic skills in information retrieval in multimedia environments.
- 26. Concerns The fusion of all types of media in a digital world captures the ethos of the new technological age Multimedia: a combination of video, text, still images and sound can provide an effective learning aid. “Putting computers into schools will directly improve learning,”
