What is Communication?
Communication is defined as the method wherein language, symbols, or manners are used to
share information or to state opinions or thoughts. It is also defined as the exchange of information and
the expression of thoughts or notion that can result in understanding.
Information Literacy refers to the ability to know when information is required. This also pertains to the
ability to find, analyze, evaluate, communicate and use information effectively in different formats.
Technology Literacy refers to the ability of knowing how to use technology, its tools or networks to find,
create, evaluate, or use information.
WHAT IS MIL?
Media and Information literacy brings together disciplines that were originally different and
separate. Media and Information Literacy aims to inspire citizens with essential knowledge about the
functions of media and information systems in a democratic society, how these functions apply and how
citizens assess the quality of the content they provide.
Furthermore, MIL signifies important abilities and skills to equip citizens in the present day, such
as the ability to effectively engage with media and information systems, improve critical thinking and life-
long learning skills that will help them to communicate and become active citizens. These goals underpin
the draft model of media and information literacy curriculum.

Prehistoric technology
Prehistoric technology refers to the technology that exists before recorded history. History refers
to the study of the recorded past events. Anything that
predates the first written accounts of history is prehistoric,
including earlier technologies. Technology began, about 2.5
million years before writing was developed, with the earliest
hominids who used stone tools, which they may have used
to start fires, hunt, and bury their dead.
Industrial Age
The Industrial Age began around 1760 – and later in
other countries – that includes economic and social
organization changes. This period of history is known by the
concentration of industry in huge businesses and for the
replacement of hand tools with machines that are driven by power (e.g. power loom and steam engine).
Electronic Age
Electronic age refers to a period wherein
people can easily – and instantaneously –
communicate with anyone anywhere. It was
ushered in by the invention of the telegraph in
1844. Made printed word a thing of the past.
Could gain information despite not being able to
read or write, since we can depend on the other
senses. Communicating with the world in became
constant in the daily life of an individual. What we
feel was more important than what we think. The
electronic media have kept people informed
about events across the globe without leaving the
comfort of their own homes.
Information Age
Information age, also known as the Digital
Age, Computer Age, or the New Media Age, refers
to a period of history wherein it is described as an
economy based on the computerization of
information improved from the Industrial
Revolution brought through industrialization. The
beginning of Information Age is linked with Digital
Revolution, just like Industrial Age marks the
beginning of Industrial Revolution.
Traditional Media are those forms in the earliest periods, specific characteristics that they have and
functionalities that they offer. According to McQuail (2015), traditional media is one directional. The
media experience is limited and the sense of receptors used are very specific.
New Media
The experience here is more interactive. The audiences are more involved and are able to send
feedback simultaneously and new media integrates all those aspects of the traditional media.

Learning Outcomes
The learner
o defines information needs, locates, accesses, assesses, organizes, and communicates
information.
o demonstrates ethical use of information
Information is a term that refers to knowledge or processed data gathered through experiences
or research.
Information Literacy refers to the ability to know when information is required. This also pertains
to the ability to find, analyze, evaluate, communicate and use information effectively in different formats.
In other words, information literacy refers to finding the right information needed and knowing how to
use it.
According to Shigeru Aoyagi, Division of Basic Education, UNESCO, “For all societies, Information
Literacy is becoming an increasingly important component of not only literacy policies and strategies, but
also of global policies to promote human development.”
Information literacy is essential for today’s society for it improves skills related to critical thinking
and problem solving; it gives the ability to identify what information is true and appropriate not just for
work or school, but also for everyday decisions in our life.
Because of the fast-growing of technology in our society, becoming information literate is just as
essential as becoming technology literate. Through information technology, information is much easier to
access and locate information. The use of technology enables an individual to access a large scale of
information either for personal, work-related, or academic uses. According to the study of Harrison in
2001, they stated that “at the most ‘basic’ level, children spend three times as long on computers in the
home as they do in school on average”.

made by Clément Ader, a French inventor, in 1881. Theatre Phone allows people to listen to live
opera and theatre performance over the telephone.
In 1890s, telephone newspaper services were introduced that broadcasts news and
entertainment programs over the telephone. It is mostly popular in large European cities.
Subscription to these telephone-based services are considered as the first examples of providing
a wide variety of programming in electronic broadcasting.
b. Radio broadcasting started experimentally in 1906, and commercially in 1920. These refers to
sounds signals that are transported from a transmitter through the air as radio waves, collected
by an antenna and transmitted to a receiver. Radio networks links radio stations to disseminate
radio programs.
d. Cable radio (or "cable FM", created in 1928) and cable television (created in 132): originally, they
mainly serve as media to transmit radio or television stations programming via coaxial cable, and
then escalating into a wide-range universe of different cable-originated channels.
e. Direct-broadcast satellite or DBS, started commercially in 1974 and Satellite Radio started

DISCUSSION
1. Let the learners read the article “Technology in the 20th Century,”
Technology has become a vital part in the everyday life of citizens; most people depend their
tasks, either personal or work-related, on technology as it has made work easy. Nowadays, it seems like
technology is continuing on becoming more advanced as time goes by. At present, technology experts are
discovering the power of virtual reality, artificial intelligence, holographic images, interactive technology,
computer generated storytelling, avatar emotions, and more that may help on every aspect of life. Below
are some emerging technology and trends:
1. Haptics Technology
A type of technology wherein the user’s sense of touch is used to feel force, vibrations, or
motions for several purposes. Haptics Technology is most commonly applied in video games, movies,
or in the virtual arts, such as synthesis of sound, and for graphics designing and animation.
a. Game Controllers/Joysticks – vibrations are felt on the controllers whenever there are obstacles
on the game to alert the player.
b. Steering wheels - According to popsci.com, there are new steering wheels that utilizes haptics
technology wherein instead of using the voice of GPS applications as a guide for direction, the
steering wheel will vibrate to tell you which way to turn.
2. Context awareness
Context awareness, or contextual awareness, gathers information from the user and
predicting or anticipating the user’s needs from those choices or preferences. For example, a user
has input the same route to work every day, context awareness can advise the user to leave earlier
than the usual time, or to take a different route because it sensed traffic jams on the route that
the user usually takes.
At present, voice recognition is widely used by some technologies (e.g. commanding a smart
phone to do a certain task, confirm a person’s identity, etc.). Voice AND tone recognition
technology can be used to identify a person’s health or sense emotional state. This technology
can become useful in the field of security and healthcare.
This future technology will become handy to those people who are always on the move. For
instance, intelligent routing can provide location just by taking a picture of the street, or by giving
specific description using smart phones and GPS or the Global Positioning System. Intelligent
routing might become helpful to people from response teams during calamities, or to alert the
authorities in case of unexpected incidents.
Eye tracking refers to a form of technology that analyzes the movements or positions of a
person’s eyes through computer applications. Nowadays, in some institutions, eye tracking is used
for identifying or confirming one’s identity. Eye tracking has potential application in the following
fields:
a. Road Safety – drivers who are feeling sleepy or distracted can be alerted
b. Health Care – people with disabilities can easily communicate with their aid and can push
themselves when roaming around on electric wheelchair
c. Security – catch people with suspicious behavior
d. Interaction between human and computer – users can blink or gaze on an icon to control
e. Retail – examining customer behavior on certain products or goods to improve marketing
strategies
f. Law enforcement – for lie detection
6. Internet glasses
Internet glasses refer to technology currently being developed that displays visuals directly on the
eyes that doesn’t block one’s line of sight. Internet glasses can be utilized in eyeglasses and can be
used for e-Gaming, military defense, or can even replace Smartphones. Internet glasses has the
following potential applications:
a. See location of other people, or the structure of a building
b. One can see information while giving a speech on-stage
c. See directions while walking to a location
d. Follow recipe while also executing it
e. Locate friends nearby while walking down the street
UNIT
MEDIA AND INFORMATION
10 LITERATE INDIVIDUAL
Learning Outcomes
The learner
o synthesizes the overall implication of media and information to an individual (personal,
professional, educational, and others) and the society as a whole (economic, social, political,
educational, and others)
DISCUSSION
1. Discuss the characteristics of a media literate individual. Use the framework of Aufderheide (1992 as
cited in Koltay, 2011)
2. Emphasize to the learners that there are many technologies that people use for their businesses,
commerce, and communications.
3. Have the learners read the article “Social Media in the Philippines is Widespread, but what is its
Impact?”. It can be accessed here: http://asiafoundation.org/in-asia/2011/10/12/social-media-in-
the-philippines-is-widespread-but-what-is-its-impact/ Give the following guide questions:
• How did social networking help in the Philippine elections?
• How did the Asia Foundation help the advocacies of some human rights-based organizations?
• How did USAID and the authors help non-government organizations help in their advocacies and
objectives?
• How did ArdanSali of the Bangsamoro Center for Just Peace in the Philippines use social
networking in its advocacies?
• What was the purpose of hashtag #WeWantPnoyTo? Do you think it was an effective tool for
awareness and change?
Due to the vast development of technology, use of media has always been part
of our daily routine. Almost everything is within our reach by using media. For instance,
many years ago, people find it hard to contact with people whom you once knew
somewhere – a childhood friend, a school mate when you were in high school – some
people even lost touch with these people permanently. But with the use of media, it has
become very easy to reconnect with them. Media has a large impact not just in terms of
communication, but also in terms of entertainment and information gathering.
b. Professional
Media has had a profound effect in the professional world. Most recruitment
agencies and companies make their hiring decisions based on information they find on
the Internet. To do a background check, the company may call the people on the
applicant’s character references or the previous companies he has been employed in. The
company may research about an applicant through social media.
On the other hand, job seekers or soon-to-be-professionals may find their dream
jobs through media like newspapers, advertisements, online job fair sites, etc.
Professionals also use media to research about the job they are in or to talk to other
professionals who are in the same field as them.
c. Educational
In education, the use of media has tremendously helped not just the students,
but for teachers as well. Through media, students have easy access when it comes to
gathering numerous information about an assignment, research paper, or project.
Teachers also use media to gather more knowledge and examples about a topic they are
lecturing. Also, students and teachers use media to communicate with their each other
outside of school vicinities regarding their studies.
2. Society
a. Economic
The use of media has played a big part in the development in improving the
economical aspect of every country. Through media, production and distribution of goods
has become much easier because of the new ways of communicating between the
manufacturer and the consumer. Also, advertisement of products has become more
efficient and efficient to attract more customers. Examples of these are commercials we
see on the television or hear on the radio, online advertisements, the billboards we see
on the road, etc.
According to Rayman-Bacchus and Molina, tourism has greatly transformed
tourism by mass communication – especially Internet – for it has empowered new tourists
to become more knowledgeable. Internet is considered as a vital part of making
transaction because of the development of online sales in the tourism industry. The
number of sales has tremendously increased because of successful online booking
platforms for airlines, hotels, travel agencies, etc.
b. Educational
Media educates the people in the most effective and efficient way. For example,
print media (e.g. workbooks, textbook, manuals) is still being used in most schools; the
television, on the other hand, is preferred by other learners when it comes to gathering
information about a topic, and; of course, the internet is considered as a huge home
library of information that can be accessed in just one click.
c. Social
d. Political

Refers to persons that are involved in the use, analysis, evaluation and production of media and
information. There are two types of People Media: People as Media and People in Media
1. People in Media – these are media practitioners or experts that have professional journalism
training who gather information through direct or actual experience of events.
a. Print Journalists – refers to people who provide information by writing articles about a
news on printed materials like magazines and newspapers.
b. Photojournalists – refers to people who capture, edit, and present images to convey
information. They are often employed in newspaper and magazine publishing companies.
c. Broadcast Journalists– refers to media people who deliver information on-air. Examples
of this are news anchors, field reporters and radio announcers.
2. People as Media – these are media users who are make use media sources and messages to
provide information to people with limited access to media and information or lower-end users.
a. Opinion Leaders – refers to people who are actively use media and interprets or delivers
messages for lower-end users. Their opinions are usually accepted by a group.
c. Social Journalism – refers to journalists who delivers information through social media to
make their content more accessible to people.
d. Crowdsourcing – these are people who provide services, ideas, or content that are
sponsored by a large group of people, especially from the online community.

TEXT MEDIA AND INFORMATION
12
Learning Outcomes
The learner
o describes the different dimensions of text information and media
o comprehends how text information and media is/are formally and informally produced,
organized, and disseminated
o evaluates the reliability and validity of text information and media and its/ their sources using
selection criteria
o produces and evaluates a creative text-based presentation using design principle and elements
Text is a simple and flexible format of presenting information or conveying ideas whether hand-
written, printed or displayed on-screen. Text is very powerful as well in disseminating information,
providing direction and giving suggestions.
Text is available in different sources whether it is formal (news articles, published books,
newspapers, magazines, advertisements, research works, etc.) or informal (blogs, personal e-mails, SMS
or text messages, online messengers, social media platforms, etc). Formal text-based materials are
created and distributed by established institutions (such as publishing companies, news agencies, etc.)
and go through a rigorous process of editing or evaluation and are usually governed by censorship of the
state. Informal text-based materials, on the other hand, come from personal opinions or views on
different issues, processes, etc.
Text can be as short such as a single sentence or phrase, or they can be as lengthy as news articles
or investigative reporting. No matter how brief or lengthy, however, a text is always carefully written with
the intent of sending a very specific message to the target audience.
In our exposure to text media and information, we can either be a consumer or a producer of
content. As a consumer, these are the questions that you need to ask with regards to the content of text
media and information:
As a producer of text media and information, we must review the media and information design
framework: target audience, author or sender, key content, purpose, form/style and format.
Text as visual
Typeface (also called font, font type, or type) refers to the representation or style of a text in the
digital format.A typeface is usually comprised of alphabets, numbers, punctuation marks, symbols and
other special characters. When fonts are installed in the computer, they usually come in file formats such
as True Type Font (.ttf), Open Type Font (.otf), etc.
Types of Typefaces:
In the absence of images or drawings, text is the easiest way of communicating to your audience.
The use of various font types can express different emotions or meaning.
Design principles and elements – the principles in designing text elements are Emphasis,
Appropriateness, Proximity, Alignment, Organization, Repetition and Contrast.
1. Emphasis - refers to the importance or value given to a part of the text-based content. When trying
to make a point or highlighting a message, you can make the text bold, italicized, have a heavier weight,
darkened or lightened (depending on your background color) or enlarged.
2. Appropriateness - refers to how fitting or suitable the text is used for a specific audience, purpose or
event. In the creation of text-based content, make sure that the selection criteria (tone, style, purpose,
clarity) is followed. As for the choice of typefaces to be used, refer to the discussion of the characteristics
of the fonts. When it comes to large body text, the font should be clear enough to read.
3. Proximity - refers to how near or how far are the text elements from each other. When two things
are closely related, we bring them close together. Otherwise, we put text elements far from each other.
For example, the main title and subtitle are usually placed close to each other.
4. Alignment - refers to how the text is positioned in the page. This can be left, right, center or justified.
5. Organization - refers to a conscious effort to organize the different text elements in a page.
Organization ensures that while some text elements are separated from each other (based on the
principle of proximity), they are still somehow connected with the rest of the elements in the page.
When there are many elements needed to fit in a page, start by creating a framework or a compartment
for the elements. Divide the space by creating lines across the page, making it look like a cabinet with
various space sizes. Once you are done compartmentalizing, you can place the different text elements
on the boxes.
6. Repetition- concerns consistency of elements and the unity of the entire design. Repetition
encourages the use of repeating some typefaces within the page. When several typefaces are used on
a page, it might distract the audience and fail to communicate what you want them to get from the
content. To strike a balance, do not also use just a single typeface for a visual design product.
7. Contrast- creates visual interest to text elements. Contrast is achieved when two elements are
different from each other. When you place a white text on a very light yellow background, contrast is
not achieved and the text will be difficult to read, but when you put a white text on a dark brown
background, contrast is created. Contrast can be achieved in various ways, by joining the following
elements: large font with a small font, serif and sans serif, thin elements with thin elements, cool color
and warm color.
Text Tools

as schools, government, and established media/publishing outfits are considered formally produced.
Other visual media are considered informally produced.
4. Purpose of visual information – the primary purpose of visual information is to gain attention, create
meaning, and facilitate retention.
about the environment around us. It is therefore important to make color palettes that
suggest appropriate audience reactions.
f. Form – refers to the volume or thickness of an object. The illusion of a 3-D object is created
through the manipulation of light and shading.
STARTING PHOTOSHOP
Sources of Images
You can Images from different sources like:
1. Scanned photos from printed materials
2. Digital photos from your camera
3. Images purchased from the internet
4. Create your own image from scratch using Photoshop’s drawing and painting tools.
Opening an Image
There are two ways to open an Image to Photoshop.
• To open an image using the Menu bar:
1. On the Menu Bar, click File and select Open.
2. Once the open dialog box shows, click the file name of the image you want to open.
3. In the open dialog box, go to the Look in and select the location where the image is stored.
4. From the list, choose an image in the existing files and click file name or enter the file name
in File name textbox and select open.
5. The image will now appear in the window and ready for editing.
You can create new images in Photoshop from scratch to make your own image using the
different tools of the program.
Using Rulers
Rulers help you to position your images accurately. They will help you organize your images and
measure your design precisely.
To view the Ruler, go to Menu bar and click window, select View and check Ruler. This will show
the ruler at the left side of the image and at the top of the window.
Snapping
Snapping lets you Snap, the image to a precise point in the ruler. The default Snapping location
is (0, 0). To snap your image, go to the Menu bar and click View and select Snap.
When you click the Zoom tool, a plus + sign will appear. The image will be magnified more each
time you click the mouse. To zoom out or decrease the magnification, click the Zoom icon and hold the
Alt key. A minus- sign will appear. The view will be reduced each time you click the mouse.
You can view another area image by selecting the Hand tool and dragging to the area you want
to view in. You can use this tool when you want to edit another part of the image and instead of zooming
out, you can just move the image using the Hand tool to see your desired are as you can see from the
image above to the image below.
Save Commands
Save This save function overwrites a previously saved file. This save command opens a Save As
dialog box the first time a document is saved. You can enter a file name and location
where the file will be saved.
Save As This save command opens the Save As dialog box so you can save an existing file either
using the same name or giving it a new name. You can also choose to save the file in a
different file location, name or file type.
You can save your images to many kinds of files. If you are not ready to save your image
permanently to another application, you can save your image to a Photoshop file. You can do this by
clicking on Save As on the File menu and then a dialog box will appear that will ask you where you will
save the file and what kind of application you want it to be saved in.
As you type your file name and the folder where you want to save, on the format drop down
menu select Photoshop. The file extension for that is .psd or .pdd. This will save your application to the
Photoshop image and can be edited again with the layers and the effects that you have placed in the
image. You can also save your image through any kind files like the .jpeg file or the .bmp file in case your
image is final. Just by selecting the format drop down menu, select the file name where you want to save
your image.
Exiting Photoshop
After you have finished using the application, you can exit Photoshop.
1. On the Menu Bar, click File and click Exit.
2. If you have not saved your work, Photoshop alerts you to save them first.
3. You can also use the Close button to close the program.

AUDIO MEDIA AND INFORMATION
14
Learning Outcomes
The learner
o describes the different dimensions of audio information and media
o comprehends how audio information and media is/are formally and informally produced,
organized, and disseminated
o evaluates the reliability and validity of audio information and media and its/their sources using
selection criteria
o produces and evaluates a creative audio-based presentation using design principle and
elements
MOTIVATION
1. Show the learners a video clip of a Charlie Chaplin movie (silent movie) without audio.
2. Start a quick discussion about how they found the experience of watching something without audio.
3. Write down key words/ideas on the board. Use those words to highlight the value of audio
information and media to the learners. Some sample responses:
a. “I was more focused on the film without the audio” - Perhaps we are so used to media that use
multiple forms and channels. Audio, if not used well, can be distracting. That is why it’s
important to ensure that the key message and intention are consistent across the different
media that you will use.
b. “It was boring” - We are not used to singular media anymore, and that can be a good example
of convergence of media and how it is prevalent in our daily lives. Audio is a powerful tool to
set the mood and convey emotions that visuals can’t.
AUDIO
This refers to a sound made or created by various platforms. Audio Information and Media refers
to instruments, applications, programs, etc. that teachers and/or students use to convey new information
to help learn the uses, assessment, and production of sound.
2. Music – refers to sounds that are made vocally, sometimes combined with instrumental sounds, to
create harmony that is performed or composed to express thoughts, feelings, or emotion, for
artistic, ceremonial, entertainment, or religious purposes.
3. Sound recording - recording of an interview, meeting, or any sound from the environment.
5. Audio Podcast – a recording of a story or a radio program, typically released or can be downloaded
in series or episodes.
2. CD – refers to circular plastic-fabricated medium used for keeping and playing computer data (e.g.
video, audio, programs, pictures, or even text files)
3. USB drive – a type of external storage that is portable and can be connected to any device that
has a USB port.
4. Memory Card – also known as storage card or flash memory card; usually connected to a device
(e.g. cellphone, laptop, etc.) to store data.
5. Computer hard drive - secondary storage device for storing audio files.
6. Internet/Cloud - websites or file repositories for retrieving audio files, and more precisely the files
are stored in some datacenter full of servers that is connected to the Internet.
PURPOSES OF AUDIO
1. Give instruction or information– in most times, audio is used to provide more specific
information. For instance, some tutorial videos have audio background for the viewers to fully
understand the lecture.
2. Provide feedback– In terms of oral communication, audio is essential. Between two people who
are having a conversation, one might use their voice to provide feedback such as talking, making
approving sounds, grunting, etc.
3. To personalize or customize
ELEMENTS OF SOUND DESIGN– the objects or things that we have to work with
1. Dialogue - speech, conversation, voice-over.
2. Waterfall – refers to a state where the second audio starts with full volume just as the first audio
fades out. This is commonly used in radio programs for song or voice transition.
3. Sound Effects - any sound other than music or dialogue.
4. Music - refers to sounds that are made vocally, sometimes combined with instrumental sounds,
to create harmony that is performed or composed to express thoughts, feelings, or emotion, for
artistic, ceremonial, entertainment, or religious purposes.
5. Silence - absence of audio or sound.
PRINCIPLES OF SOUND DESIGN– the techniques for combining the different elements or objects.
1. Mixing – the blend, symmetry, and control of multiple audio
2. Pace – refers to timely order of events. This may be linear, non-linear, or multi-linear.
3. Transitions – how one element shifts to another
a. Segue – an audio begins as soon as another stops. Also refers to “cut” in films.
b. Cross-fade – an audio fades in volume just as another fades out volume, making both
elements overlap.
c. V-Fade – an audio begins after the first one fades to silence.
d. Fade to Black – similar to V-Fade but a silence is included between elements.
4. Stereo Imaging - Using left and right channel for depth.
Import File:
Click File -> Import -> Audio
This panel is an alternative tool to assist and maintain your imported media files
Choose after highlighting audio file in the File window to create a new Multi-track session
Note: This will not delete audio file from your computer, rather it deletes the asset from your File panel.
Also, the files located here will disappear after closing out Adobe Audition. Use this panel as a ways to
quickly work on multiple audio tracks at the same time. Files with an asterisk in the title have been
changed in the workspace and will overwrite the original file

MOTIVATION
1. Bring the learners to a focus by showing an example of a flipbook.
2. Challenge learners to quickly create a motion media by making a flipbook.
3. Show a sample of a flip book. Point out how minor changes in the picture for each page create the
illusion of motion.
4. After showing the example, have each learner think of a simple motion. Let them draw the picture
to show the starting position of the object/subject. This must be drawn in the last page of their
flipbook.
5. Next, have them draw the last picture on the top page of their flipbook.
6. Let them draw the pictures in between in the succeeding pages until they finish all the pages of the
flipbook.
7. Have them show their flipbook to another learner for feedback.
8. Call some learners to describe their work. Ask learners how the picture changes or creates the
illusion of movement or blending.
MOTION MEDIA
Motion Media refers to a media form with moving graphics or texts. According to Roblyer, the
purpose of motion media is to convey information in several ways. Each picture is a frame and that motion
is created by rendering or showing consecutively several frames per second. 24 frames (0pictures) or more
per second makes for a smooth animation.; videos, film, slides also make use of frames. The series of
graphics or images follow a sequence to create a story. This sequence is often called a storyboard which
shows a set of components (audio, visual, videos, etc) changing in time to create a story or a message.
Motion media can be produced formally and informally. Informally produced motion media are
created by individuals often for personal use. Formally produced motion media are created by
professionals who follow industry standards in creating, editing and producing motion media. Formal
production of animations involves the following steps:
1. Writing the story - writers and directors create the story board
2. Script is written and dialogue is recorded
3. Animators sketch major scenes; inbetweeners fill in the gaps • background music and
background details are added
4. Drawings are rendered
Videos are produced in the same manner except that instead of drawing the scenes they are acted
out and shot. Once the scenes have been shot, all clips are edited and put together in a final product.
When creating a content in Flash Professional CS6 choose File > New , and document is called a
FLA file. FLA files use the file extension .fla (FLA). While editing a FLA file in the Flash Professional CS6
environment, you'll notice that the user interface is divided into five main parts:
• The Stage is like a white space area that are the visible area throughout the playback; you
arrange graphics, videos, buttons, and other elements on the Stage while editing projects.
• The Timeline manipulates the timing that specifies when elements in the animation appear on
the Stage. The playhead begins at Frame 1 and moves from left to right as the animation plays
through the frames. Drag the layers in the Timeline to organize and position the layering order of
graphics on the Stage. Graphics in the upper layers appear to be placed on top of the graphics in
the lower layers.
• The Tools panel has the tools used to select objects on the Stage, create text elements, and draw
vector graphics.
• The Property inspector shows contextual information about the characteristics of any selected
object; you can edit these options to adjust an object's settings.
• The Library panel has media elements and symbols that are stored for a project. Use this panel
to manage and organize the project's elements. When publishing a SWF file, only the Library items
you actually use are included in the published file.
Figure 1. Flash Professional CS6 user interface is comprised of five main parts.
ActionScript code allows you to enhance interactivity to the elements on your animation. The
user can add code that causes a button to display a new image when it is clicked. You can also use
ActionScript to add logic to your applications. Logic enables your application to behave in different ways
depending on the user's actions or other conditions. There are different versions of ActionScript. Flash
Professional uses ActionScript 3 when an ActionScript 3 or Adobe AIR file is created, or ActionScript 1 and
2 when an ActionScript 2 file is created in the New Document dialog box.
Figure 2. The New Document dialog box displays the file types you can create in Flash Professional.
2. Use the workspace drop-down menu to be found on the upper right of the screen to select the
Essentials workspace layout option (see Figure 3). This step confirms that the layout of the panels
in Flash Professional CS6 match the arrangement of the panels showed in the screen shots.
Note: Later, you can create a preset of your own custom workspace by setting the panels in any way that
you prefer. Choose the New Workspace option and enter a name to save your personal configuration.
Once it's saved, you can reset the workspace by choosing its name from the workspace menu.
Figure 3. Choose the Essentials option to view the changes in workspace layout.
3. Click the Properties tab in the upper right side of the user interface to see the Property inspector,
which shows the Stage properties for the file when no other objects are selected.
4. By default, the Property inspector is perpendicularly aligned along the right side of the
workspace. The Size section displays the existing Stage size setting as 550 × 400 pixels (see Figure
4). The Stage background color swatch is normally white. You can change the color of the Stage
by clicking the swatch and choosing a different color in the color picker that appears.
Figure 4. The Property inspector shows the Background color and the Stage size.
Tip: You can change the background color of the Stage in the Flash movie file by clicking Modify >
Document or by choosing the Stage and then changing the Stage color swatch in the Property inspector.
There's no need to draw a rectangle to mark the background color. When you publish your Flash movie
file, Flash sets the background color of the published HTML page to the identical color as the Stage
background color (if only you decide to generate an HTML file).
Figure 5. Tools with a triangle in the bottom left corner have more than one tool option; click and hold
the shape tool icon to choose the Oval tool from the list that shows in the Tools panel.
2. Click the stroke color swatch in the Property inspector to choose the No Color option (red
diagonal stripe) from the Stroke Color Picker (see Figure 6).
Figure 6. The common "no" symbol (red diagonal stripe) shows that the color swatch is set to the No
Color option in the Stroke color picker.
3. Pick and choose a color from the Fill color picker, placed directly below the Stroke color picker.
Choose a fill color that differs with the Stage color. In this example, an oval with a blue fill color is
showed on top of a red Stage color.
4. In creating a vector shape, you have the option of choosing two drawing modes: Merge drawing
mode and Object drawing mode. Click the drawing mode button to select the Object drawing
mode at the bottom of the Tools panel. When the Object drawing mode is chosen, the button will
appear darker and selected, as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. The Drawing mode button alternates between modes; choose Object drawing mode by clicking
the button to make its background look darker.
5. While the Oval tool still chosen, press and hold the Shift key from the keyboard. Put a circle on
the Stage by Shift-dragging on the Stage (see Figure 8). The Shift key is a modifier key; when you
press and hold the Shift key while drawing or transforming a shape with the Oval tool, Flash makes
the Oval tool shape to a circle that is perfectly proportioned.
Note: The Shift key works in the same way with other auto shapes; when you press and hold Shift key
while drawing a shape with the Rectangle tool, you can create a perfect square.
Figure 8. Press and hold the Shift key and use Oval tool to draw a perfect circle on the Stage.
A symbol is a media asset that can be used everywhere in your Flash file without the need to
redesign it. Symbols can incorporate bitmap and vector snap shots and animations, together with
different varieties of content material.
In creating tweened animations, it is common to use symbols. As you become more familiar with
Flash Professional CS6, you'll use symbols to organize applications and interactivity using several
timelines. Symbols are useful for compartmentalizing parts of a project to make it easier for you to edit
specific sections later. Follow these instructions to create a symbol:
1. Click the Selection tool in the Tools panel (see Figure 9).
Figure 9. The Selection tool is the first tool showed in the Tools panel.
2. To select it, click the circle on the Stage. A bordering box selection shows around the circle.
3. While the circle is still chosen, click Modify > Convert to Symbol (or press F8) to open the Convert
to Symbol dialog box (see Figure 10). Type the name of the symbol in the Name field. Use the
Type menu to select the Movie Clip option.
Tip: You can also convert a graphic into a symbol by choosing it and dragging it into the Library panel.
Figure 10. Type a name for the symbol in the Convert to Symbol dialog box.
4. Click OK. A square bordering box is showed around the circle symbol. You've just created a
reusable asset, called a symbol, in your Flash file. In this case, you designed a movie clip symbol
named my_circle. (For more information about symbols, read Working with symbols in the Flash
Professional online documentation.)
If the Library panel is not open, click Window > Library to open it. The new symbol is now listed in the
Library panel. (Drag a copy of the symbol from the Library panel to the Stage, the copy on the Stage is
called an instance of the symbol.)
Figure 11. Move the instance of the my_circle symbol to the left of the Stage area.
2. Right-click the circle instance on the Stage and select the option to Create Motion Tween in the
menu that appears. Notice that the Timeline is automatically extended to Frame 24 and the red
marker (the current frame indicator, also known as the playhead) moves to Frame 24 (see Figure
12). This indicates that the Timeline is prepared for you to edit the ending location of the symbol
and create a one-second animation—assuming that you haven't changed default frame rate for
the project from 24 fps in the Property inspector. A span of 24 frames is the equivalent of one
second at a rate of 24 fps. (For more information about the Timeline, read Working with timelines
in the Flash Professional online documentation.)
Figure 12. The Create Motion Tween operation automatically extends the frames in the Timeline and
places the playhead on Frame 24.
3. Select the circle instance on the Stage and drag it to the right side, outside the Stage area. This
step of repositioning the instance generates a tweened animation. On Frame 24, notice the
diamond-shaped dot (known as a property keyframe) that shows. On the Stage, also notice the
motion guide that indicates the circle's path of motion between Frame 1 and Frame 24 (see Figure
13).
Figure 13. After creating a 24-frame tween animation, the circle is positioned at the far right at the end
of the animation.
4. In the Timeline, move the red playhead back and forth from Frame 1 to Frame 24 to test the
animation; this is known as scrubbing the Timeline.
5. You can modify the circle's direction in the middle of the animation. First, move the playhead to
Frame 10 in the Timeline. Then pick the circle and move it to other side of the Stage, down on the
Stage. As you observe the change is showed in the motion guide and the new dot (property
keyframe) shows on Frame 10 of the Timeline (see Figure 14). The property keyframes on the
Timeline mark the timing of the animation, directing the frames whenever objects change on the
screen and storing the properties of the object that modified. In this example, it is the circle's
position on the Stage (known as its X and Y or horizontal and vertical) properties that are moving
as the playhead moves through the Timeline.
Figure 14. After locating the playhead on Frame 10 and dragging the circle instance down on the Stage,
the motion guide of the tweened animation and the property keyframe in the Timeline show the
location change of the animated circle.
6. Try to play and edit the animation by modifying the shape of the motion guide path. Use the
Selection tool in the Tools panel and then click a part of the motion guide line. Drag it to curve the
line shape (see Figure 15). When you curve the motion path, you produce the animation to follow
along a smooth curved line instead of a unbending straight line.
Figure 15. Use the Selection tool to change the tweened animation's motion path; rather than a straight
line the edited motion guide line is now curved.
7. Click Control > Test Movie to test the FLA file and view the animation play back in Flash Player.
8. When finish watching, close the Test Movie window.

MOTIVATION
1. Relate experiences in using interactive media by identifying the software or media used and
how they interacted.
a. Example 1: Social media (Facebook) - sent friend request; responded to friend request; liked
a post; followed a site; commented on a friend’s post; uploaded a file; chat with a friend;
sent private message.
b. Example 2: Online booking - search for flights; booked a flight and paid through credit card;
web-check-in.
Interactive Media
Interactive Media refers to a communication technique wherein the program depends on the
user’s input to display the output. Common examples of Interactive Media are video games and
websites.
Interactivity
Refers to the communication between humans and computer programs or software. For instance,
in video games, the user has to constantly interact with the game for the program to continue or flow.
Aside from video games, database, trading, engineering, and financial applications are also type of
software that involves interactivity.
One area where interactivity is most useful is in online training. Interactivities in this area allow
learners to interact with the course in terms of action and/or thinking.
3. Multi-player video games – a type of video game that enables two or more users to play with one
another or against each other.
4. Role-playing games (RPG) – a type of game wherein the user plays as a fictional character to
follow a story, to make decisions and to be responsible for that fictional character throughout the
whole narration.
5. Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) –a type of game that lets players
to interact or play with a large group of players, usually the player creates a character and typically
based in a virtual world.
6. Interactive websites – refers to websites that allows people to interact such as pools, surveys,
or exams and exercises for online training.
7. Virtual reality and immersive environments – refers to simulation applications that the user can
interact with. Games that is played on the VRBox is an example of this.
8. Social media - websites or online services where users (actual people) are the creators and
consumers of the content, and where social interactions (commenting, liking, posting, talking) are
the main features of content. Examples are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Vine, etc.
Relate this topic to their output in the previous activity.
TYPES OF INTERACTIVITY
1. Click on images
2. Hotspot – a part of the web page that leads to another web page. Hotspots can take form in
different shapes such as rectangle, circle, polygon, or triangle.
3. Rollover – a part of a picture or a picture that shifts into another appearance when the mouse
hovers over it.
4. Tabs - clicking on them displays a relevant content with an appropriate graphic.
5. Timeline - a menu slide that branches to different events.
6. Numbers/processes – datapoints in and interactive function that depends on the number of clicks
and time spent.
7. Slideshow - non-linear interactive slideshow where the pathway through the show is determined
bythe user's interaction with it.
8. Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
9. Flip cards - a card that when clicked flips to display a description and other information.
Using Premiere
Open Premiere
Go to Start → All Programs → Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.
Or look under: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Adobe Production
Premium CS6
Click "New Project".
Setting
Now, go to "Location" at the bottom, click "Browse..." and navigate to your folder on the network.
If you haven’t made a folder yet be sure to create one:
X:\user\projects\instr\production1\[your student files folder].
For your own sanity, you will want to create “bins” (basically folders) to organize the media in your
project. Just click the folder icon to make a new bin, then drag your files into it.
The file name should automatically be that of the sequence you are exporting.
Click [lastname]_[firstname]and navigate to the place you want to export, which is your student folder.
Select "H.264" as the format. Go to the video tab, scroll down and find Basic Video Settings. Then change
the Width and Height into 640*360. Make sure that Frame rate is “24” and Field order is “Progressive”.
When you’re ready, hit "Export". Don’t forget to save your premiere project.
UNIT
MULTIMEDIA INFORMATION AND MEDIA
17
Learning Outcomes
The learner
o describes the different dimension of multimedia information and media
o comprehends how multimedia information and media is /are formally and informally
produced, organized, and disseminated
o evaluates the reliability and validity of motion information and media and its/their sources
using selection criteria
o synthesizes overall knowledge about different information and media sources by producing
and subsequently evaluating a creative multimedia form (living museum, electronic portfolio,
others)
CLASSIFYING MEDIA
1. Show to the learners a 3-minute multimedia video that explains an advocacy, lesson, or concept.
2. After they have viewed the video, ask the learners the following questions:
a. What is the video all about?
b. Did the video effectively convey the information to you?
c. What are the components of the video?
d. How did the components contribute to conveying of the information?
DISCUSSION
1. Discuss with the learners how, in the past, people used a single, unique medium when presenting
information: As discussed in the first part of the course, people used the human voice as a type
of medium until writing was discovered.
2. Over the years, it has been established that information can be expressed through text, speech,
sound, graphics or images, animation, and video. A combination of these media sources is
considered multimedia.
3. Dave Marshall defines multimedia as “the field concerned with the computer-controlled
integration of text, graphics, drawings, still and moving images (video), animation, audio, and any
other media where every type of information can be represented, stored, transmitted and
processed digitally.”
4. While traditional or analog media still co-exist with computer-controlled media, Savage and Vogel
(2009) assert that the contemporary definition of multimedia is mostly in the digital form.
Moreover, both trending and emerging forms of multimedia are described as ubiquitous,
interactive, massive, and immersive.
USES OF MULTIMEDIA
1. Entertainment and Fine Arts - movies and animation, interactive multimedia, others
4. Industry- presentation for shareholders, superiors and coworkers, employee training, advertising
and marketing, others
