LESSON OBJECTIVES
After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. identify the different readily available multimedia

resources,
2. give the importance of their use and function ; and
3. use correct and appropriate multimedia resources in
giving information, instructions, in making
explanations and in narrating events.
Before starting this module, let us find out
what you already know about multimedia
resources and their use.
Now, let’s have the activity, FAMILIAR OR
NOT?
See page 2 under WHAT I KNOW for
directions and reference.
 After learning about multimedia
resources and their use, now, it is time to
have a deeper understanding on these
different multimedia resources that can
help you in giving instructions, making
explanations, and in narrating events.
 What is a Multimedia Resource?

• The word multimedia comes from two Latin

roots, multi and media: multi-, meaning
several or many, and media-, meaning in the
middle.
• This multimedia definition tells us that
materials on the internet, or in your class
presentations, involve several forms of
communication to connect the sender and
receiver.
• To make it simple, whenever text, audio, still
images, animation, video and interactivity
are combined together, the result is
multimedia.
 Let us now proceed to THE DIFFERENT
MULTIMEDIA RESOURCES.

1. TEXT MATERIALS
-Text is still a primary way to transmit
information. It is the simplest and oldest
resource. This resource can be used in writing
instructions, making announcements, giving
information, narrating events and the list goes
on.
2. PowerPoint Slides
- It is a presentation program developed by
Microsoft. The presentations are comprised of
slides, which may contain text, images, and
other media, such as audio clips and movies.
This resource is best to use in giving
information, instructions, making explanations
and in narrating events.
3. Photographs and Other Still Images
- Illustrations are perhaps the oldest form of
media. Simply take a photograph of your subject
and present it as you orally give an information,
instruction, explanation, or a
narration.
4. Audio Files
- Your website or presentation can add
sound, from a musical background to a spoken
explanation, by including audio files. Simply
record information, instruction, explanation,
and narration using your smart phone and play
it before the class.
5. Video Presentations
- Video presents moving pictures and typically
combines images and sound for a compelling
multimedia experience. With your camera
phone, simply record a video as you orally give
information, instructions, explanation or
narration. You can also make a vlog (short for
video and blog) and make contents of different
subjects.
6. GIFs and Other Forms of Animation
- Animated files occupy a middle ground
between still images and video. GIFs, which is an
abbreviation for graphic image files, are small
files that present a single image or rapidly
display a sequence of a few images to give the
appearance of motion. This group of resources is
best to use when you explain and/or narrate
events that are just short.
To sum up our previous discussions, please
see page 10, showing a table that indicates
the applicable use of resources, such as
text, text with other elements, powerpoint
slides, images, audio, video, and animation
in giving information, instructions, making
explanations, and in narrating events.
USABILITY OF THE MULTIMEDIA RESOURCES
It is very important to determine the applicability of
these multimedia resources in a class presentation

Here is a simple guide before you use and select a

media resource to be used in your class presentation.
Simply ask yourself the following questions:

1. What is my task and my purpose?

2. What media resource is applicable to use?
3. Do I know how to apply such resource in my
presentation?
4. Will I be understood if I use this particular
resource or the other?
5. Is this resource accessible during preparation
and during presentation?
