CD-ROM BASED MULTIMEDIA DEVELOPMENT (MPT1293): September 2012

Float or Sink - Cool Science Experiment

From the video, we know that the presenter use hands-on science and inquiry-based to make learning more engaging and fun. The instructional design that he use is Behaviorism because he is showing to the viewer on how to make an experiment to see whether the cans float or sink.

Advantages of behaviorism; 1.Behavior is shaped quickly.

2.The leaner adapts to the environment.

3. Behavior can be measured.

4. Initially teaching machines were crude and cumbersome, but now programmes can be run on personal computers.

5.Student works at own pace. Disadvantages of behaviorism; 1.It does not account for all kinds of learning.

2. It does not explain some learning,research has shown that animals adapt their reinforced patterns to new information.

3. Whole class teaching does not suit slow or fast learners, just the average paced learners.

4.Analysis of a child’s behaviour takes time and involves careful observation and record keeping.

Week 3 - Multimedia Courseware Design

Last week, we have been exposed to an explanation about the topic which is Project Management in Multimedia Design and Production. We learn about the function of each members in a multimedia production team.

This week we learn about the development and the design of multimedia. There are four items that need to be stressed out to make the multimedia design meaningful which are;

1. content.
2. technology
3. visual
4. economy

We must also make sure that every product development must follow the correct procedure in orderly manner to ensure the project meet the requirements and standards that had been determined by the head of project.

There are also 3 important steps in developing multimedia projects that need to follow which are;
1. flow chart - strategy and content management
2. storyboard - interaction, navigation and control
3. prototype - for early presentation that later on need to be criticize by expert for RnD purposes.

Week 2 - Project Management In Multimedia Design And Production

This week we learn about the different tasks that the multimedia production team have when they wanted to build any task. We have been told that there are many team roles that need to be understand in order to produce better productions;

In short, we have to make sure that we planned and distributed all the tasks according to their expertise to ensure we make full use of the expert that we bring in our team.

If we planned well, then there will be many more interesting opportunity to come.
