<span>Multimedia technology has advanced significantly in the past few years. Graphic, animation, audio and video data can be stored and processed efficiently in personal computer systems. CD-ROM technology has also matured over the years and it provides an economical and convenient means for storing a large amount of digital information. With careful designing and authoring, interactive multimedia courseware, in CD-ROM format, can be developed and produced for effective learning.</span><p>In developing interactive multimedia courseware for teaching and learning, instructional design (ID) and management are two crucial aspects for successful products. Based on the authors' experiences in developing multimedia projects in areas (a) curriculum information system, (b) interactive desktop video and (c) video CD-ROM courseware, a design model for managing interactive multimedia courseware production has been proposed</p><p>This paper will present and discuss the model which includes 5 phases, namely (1) analysis (2) development, (3) production, (4) evaluation, and(5) implementation.</p>
Traditionally, students learned rat dissection through reading printed dissection guides, observing teacher demonstration, and hands-on dissection practice in a Biology laboratory. Teacher demonstration was always not very effective for a large class of students. Hands-on practice consumed a lot of rats before students could master the basic skills of rat dissection. Expenditure in terms of time and resources was high in the learning of rat dissection. To help students learn rat dissection in a more cost-effective manner, the authors designed and developed an interactive multimedia courseware. In addition, the authors had made an innovative use of multimedia technology to perform assessment in a manner which was not possible with traditional media. This article summarized the findings of an evaluation study of the interactive multimedia courseware. The evaluation study looked into students' attitude toward the interactive multimedia courseware, and the problems encountered during the use of the courseware. Lastly, the authors' reflection of the development process and product courseware also constituted part of the evaluation.
For twenty-five years, Educational Television (ETV) programs have been available to schools in Hong Kong through broadcasting and video tapes. Supporting materials including booklets of Teachers' Notes and Pupils' Notes are also produced and used together with the programs. The emergence of desktop video means that an ETV program together with the supporting teaching and learning materials can be converted into digital data, integrated into a courseware, and stored in a CD-ROM for easy retrieval. In addition, the advantages of interactivity, where a structure of linked elements through which the user can navigate, can also be of use. This article reports the development of a courseware with full motion and full screen video stored in a CD-ROM by making use of the latest compression and decompression (CODEC) technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
