Study Notes

Multimedia is a fusion of computers and teaching aids, creating an interactive hyper environment.
This environment combines audio, images, and video software, all hyperlinked together.
Graphics used in these programs are key to the experience.

Introduction

Multimedia is the integration of computer technology and educational tools to generate an interactive hyper-environment.
This interactive space includes hyperlinked audio, video, and image software.

Multimedia Technology

Multimedia technology uses two or more computer-controlled media for flexible information recall.
It is an organized method within the educational process, utilizing information to gain experiences through computers.
The delivery of educational content uses various media, such as computers, television, video cameras, and tapes.

Sensory Mediation

Multimedia technology is a modern application focused on the multi-sensory nature of the learner.
Multimedia technology encodes educational content via verbal or visual means, reflecting the user's ability to process information through varied formats.
Key figure: Galbreath, 1992, p. 15

Design Considerations

Multimedia programs must consider the user's sensory inputs (eyes, ears, touch) and long-term memory.
Tendencies, interests, abilities, and preparations of the learner must be considered when designing multimedia programs.

Defining Multimedia

Multimedia is a combination of different files such as text, audio, and video.
It is a different concept than movies or motion pictures, being smaller in size and more affordable.
Interactive multimedia allows the user to control content selection and display.

The Educational Process

The modern educational process uses the computer not just for data storage, but also as a full educational tool.
The role of the teacher has changed, developing into a designer.
Focus is now on the student's needs instead of memorization or passive learning.

What is Multimedia?

Multimedia involves multiple forms of communication (audio, video, image) integrated in order to provide effective learning.

Multimedia Definitions

First: Multimedia software is a group of interactive communication systems computers can manage, share, and access through various content mediums like text, music, and video.
Second: Multimedia consists of a computer database allowing users to access various information formats (text, graphics, video, audio), facilitated by synaptic communication.
Third: Multimedia programs combine written text, static and dynamic images, and audio.
Fourth: Multimedia programs include written text, graphics, sound, animations, images, and incorporate computer presentation methods.

Differences Between Multimedia, Interactive Multimedia, and Hypermedia

Multimedia and interactive multimedia share common qualities but differ fundamentally. Interactive media allows for user control of content and navigation in non-linear ways.
Hypermedia uses interconnected links allowing for exploration of ideas and information in a non-linear presentation of content.

Hypermedia Characteristics

Hypermedia uses nodes of information, text, graphics, audio, and video, interconnected through links from one part of the content to another.
Enables non-linear information access.
Employs complex links guiding users to different pieces of content.

Areas of Use of Multimedia

Multimedia is extensively used in business communications, education, entertainment, training, and the arts.
It allows for the provision of more information to customers and providing a greater amount of learning materials accessible through diverse images, audio, and graphics.
Multimedia is used in any area, or field, that heavily depends on simulations.

Reasons for Multimedia Use in Education

There is an increasing need for multimedia in education due to the rapid growth of knowledge, technologies, and global populations.
This necessitates quick ways to share the increasing volume of knowledge content.
Technological advances and population demands are pressing educational institutions to maintain/develop effective and efficient methods of teaching and learning.

The Explosion of Knowledge

Humanity is increasingly producing knowledge at a faster pace and requires efficient methods to transmit this knowledge to future generations.
This means a greater need for technologies in education.
