CHAPTER ONE

  • INTRODUCTION

Schram and porter, (2002) observed that communication technology enables us to “duplicate information and to extend almost indefinitely a person’s ability to share it”. With the seemingly endless increases in technological sophistication, we are able to do more and add to it more spectacularly. However, we can lose sight of the goal of effective communication when technology is merely used for its own sake.

This is nowhere more apparent than in multimedia development, comprehendible messages. Poor multimedia exhibits the basic of fundamental characteristic of multimedia (use of multiple media), but fails to convey a coherent message. Most often, form is emphasized at the expense of function.

Media can be used separately (e.g. verbal information presented textually), redundancy (e.g. verbal information presented textually and auditorally), or in combination (e.g. verbal information presented auditorally and pictorial information presented via video) background of the study.

Two ways to examine the effectiveness of multimedia networking and communication are its:

  • Ability to entertain
  • Ability to instruct

An entertaining multimedia networking and communication is one that captures the user’s attention and encourages the user to continue interacting with the software applications. Popular computer games such as Byst by Broderbund or Outpost sierra On-line are examples of multimedia networking and communication that are entertaining, but not necessarily educational. Another way to examine e the effectiveness of a multimedia networking and communication is to determine how well it helps people to learn.

Multimedia networking and communication is employed increasingly for computer-based tutorials and other forms of .on-line education. The cost of developing these applications can often be justified quite easily. For example, Anderson Consulting expects a $10 million return on investment from a multimedia versions of its Business practices course and Pacific.

In an effort to help move the field forward, this study focuses on fundamental aspects of multimedia information presentation to aid human learning.
