A medium is a way of communicating information, such as speech or text. Multimedia is the use of more than one unique medium at a time. Multimedia programs are described as interactive if they accept input from the user and enable the user to direct the flow of information or action in the program. The term new media is used to describe the combination of multimedia programming and communications technologies that enable multimedia to be distributed in different ways (such as on disk, via the Internet, or over television). Effective multimedia programming provides information that is layered and multidimensional. In layered multimedia, multiple types of information may be presented simultaneously. In multidimensional programming, the user can approach information in different ways, such as a text-only description or an animated demonstration. Navigation is the act of moving through electronic information. Multimedia products typically provide the user with a set of navigation tools. Hypermedia is commonly used in multimedia products. When the user chooses a hypermedia link, the program moves to a different piece of information, possibly represented by a different type of media. In creating multimedia products, developers must be aware of the capabilities and features of the user's computer. Hardware and software manufacturers have developed sets of standards for computer systems that will be used with multimedia products. Multimedia programs are used in a wide variety of ways. Multimedia is commonly used in schools, where students use CD-ROM-based reference materials and tutorials and use the Internet to collaborate with students in other locations. By using multimedia programs and delivery mechanisms like the Internet and television, schools can support distance learning, which allows students to take classes without actually traveling to school. Online courses are typically called virtual universities. In the workplace, companies commonly use multimedia programs to train employees. These training programs (called computer-based training, or CBT) are sometimes done online but can also be provided on disk. Multimedia is frequently used in the home, whether on a PC, television, or the Internet. Home users consume a wide variety of multimedia products for entertainment and learning. жүктеу/скачать 0,7 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
