 I. Introduction

With your exposure to many forms of media in your daily life at school or at
home, you have learned how to use them for your own advantage such as writing
reports, making class presentations, creating a short video, or even generating a
meme-worthy post on social networking sites.

How many presentation software do you know of besides Windows

PowerPoint? Have you explored different blogs before? Do you follow podcasts? How
well do these platforms and applications enhanced your understanding of what
multimedia is?

In this module, you will revisit the multimedia tools you may have been using in

Defining Multimedia. Encyclopedia.com defines multimedia as the term used to

describe two or more types of media combined into a single package—usually
denoting a combination of some or all of the following: video, sound, animation, text,
and pictures.

The following make up multimedia. Familiarize yourself with each and be ready to take
on the next activity.

Texts. These are written documents, the words seen in handouts, PowerPoint
presentations, Web sites, and reports. One of the simplest types of media, text is
also used to communicate the most information and appears in conjunction with
visual aids.

Audio. This is the sound that often accompany visual presentations. Sound by itself
can be used in radio broadcasts or online audio files, but in multimedia presentations
audio is used as a complementary media. Sound effects can help make a
presentation more memorable, while hearing the main points of information spoken
can help listeners focus.

Still images. Photographs, taken either by digital or analog means, are an important
part of multimedia productions. Well-placed visual aids can explain concepts with
clarity.

Animation. Animations are graphics that move, accompanied by audio effects.

 Video. Video media is used to spread interviews, create movies, and post personal
updates to communicate business messages. Currently, businesses can use videos
online or create CDs to spread for instructional use within their company.

Interactivity. The newest form of multimedia, interactivity, is a computer-based tool

which allows users to choose to learn different parts of information on their own
terms. By highlighting or choosing links and sections, users can manipulate the
information environment, examining whatever knowledge is important to them.

You are almost over with this module. I’m confident you have
already taken hold of the concepts about the different
Generalization multimedia platforms or tools that can be used in interpreting
a literary piece. I think you can now test your memory in this
simple activity.
