REQUISITES
Pre-requisite: FET5621 or demonstrated ability and competence in building and publishing web sites is required in order to successfully undertake this course.RATIONALE
The rapid convergence of media with information and communications technologies has implications for education at all levels. Interactive multimedia promises the capability of delivering large quantities of information in formats that encourage learners to engage in activities beyond simple viewing and reading. Although developers with skills in media and information technologies are capable of creating materials which engage the attention of learners, the maximum value of the new technologies can be realised only if the creation of materials is informed by appropriate educational design. Hence there is a need for educators who understand the capabilities of the new technologies and are able to communicate with the developers to devise effective educational designs for interactive multimedia.
SYNOPSIS
This course will introduce students to some technologies, tools and techniques associated with the creation of interactive multimedia. The focus of the course will be on developing the capacity of professional educators to communicate effectively with professionals who contribute to the design and development of interactive multimedia. Students will be introduced to the characteristics of the elements of multimedia and to some tools and techniques commonly used in creation of multimedia. They will develop skills for creating simple examples of interactive multimedia suitable for delivery within a web browser. NOTES: 1. This course (FET5622) is available through INTERNET DELIVERY ONLY. There are NO print materials for this course. 2. For details of the technical requirements and accessing Internet study materials, please consult the following URL: http://usqconnect.usq.edu.au.
