Rationale The computer enables the assembly of digital media for display on a computer screen. Static information such as text, graphics and pictures can be integrated with dynamic information such as animation, sound and video.
Multimedia is an important means of communication and of delivering information.
This semester subject will engage students in using multimedia to communicate while dealing with issues of interface and design, combining different media types and testing the final product. Students will progress from basic presentation style projects to those involving various degrees of interactivity. Students need to become creators and critical users both of multimedia and information available on-line from computer networks such as the World Wide Web. The course is a single semester subject with four periods per cycle. Staff from the Information Technology and Art Departments team teach the course.
