INSDSG640 Planning and Design of Educational Multimedia Programs
Session Closed
Course Description
This course helps students become familiar with the current uses of the video disk and other multimedia, as well as with such delivery platforms for multimedia as SonyViewSystem, IBM M-motion, IBM's DVI, Philips CDI, and with the planning, budgeting, and logistics of video production. Participants learn the range of authoring tools that exist for these systems and their relative advantages. They apply principles of instructional and courseware design and study the practical considerations involved in the production of visual media, as well as writing a design proposal and a multimedia project budget. Using this general design document, students produce specifications for the video, computer program flow, graphic screens, video disk layout, and other effects that translate the original instructional design into a usable program. They also achieve basic proficiency in the use of a popular project management software program.
