Stage 2 Module 4
Exploring Multimedia
Course Description
This module aims to introduce students to multimedia authoring software. The aim is to produce a short presentation for a specific audience, recognising the need for good page design and clarity. The presentation should cover a particular theme and contain both text and images. It should be intended for access by individuals who will navigate through the slides at their own speed and be offered choices throughout, via hotspots or buttons.
- Create a page of text, images and sounds which are activated by appropriately named and positioned buttons
- Use effective page design
- Organise screens and identify appropriate choices and links
- Create pages which offer the user options
- Demonstrate how the presentation meets the needs of the intended audience
Ensure that any buttons or text which are used for navigation, or to open files or activate sounds, are clearly marked on the printout. If it is not possible to tell from the printout what an object is doing then this will need to be written on the printout next to the objects. Avoid overcrowding of text; employ suitable fonts, text size and position for purpose; choose readable combination of text and background colour. The student is able to link at least 3 slides in an organised way.
