The Head of EDC was present and she later addressed the students and received feedback which was very positive. She was very happy to see multimedia being used and strongly encouraged Bernard to design other aspects of the Business Law curriculum for this module. Compared to just showing the video, the multimedia presentation program gave the lecturer greater control. Students are able to access the multimedia program at their convenience to supplement their Business Law lectures and tutorials. Benefits of Multimedia There is an accepted view that multimedia can be incorporated as a method of communication which can either allow students to answer privately where they may be embarrassed in group situations, or alternatively allow students to engage in conversation or collaborate with each other to clarify their understanding.
Multimedia gives the student instant feedback.
It can present students with learning material that is self-paced, available 24 hrs a day, well illustrated and interactive. Multimedia can increase learning efficiency by forcing the students to take an active part in their learning. When students are learning foundation knowledge on the Multimedia PC, the lecturers can concentrate on the higher levels of learning and staff productivity will be enhanced. With multimedia, the method of instruction is consistent, whereas the quality of lectures given may vary. Multimedia in the long term reduces costs.
