“…Interactive media usually requires control, input, and active

user response. Most interactive media are now using digital

technologies. Examples of IM are websites, digital video

recorder (DVR), computer games, online forum, E-mail and

social networking”

Interactive media is the integration of digital media including

combinations of electronic text, graphics, moving images, andsound, into a structured digital computerised environment thatallows people to interact with the data for appropriate purposes.

The digital environment can include the Internet, telecoms andinteractive digital television.

The important concepts to hold on to are „interactive‟ and„media‟ across a range of „delivery channels‟ or „platforms‟.

Functions of IM

• As a drill or exercise to master basic skills

• To develop the writing skill

• Use in problem solving

• Increase the understanding of the concepts of mathematicsand science

• For data manipulation

• To master the computer skills

• To access and communicate

• As remote access by teachers and students

• For individual and cooperative learning

• For administration and management of classroom activity



Development of Multimedia InteractiveLearning Package

• Involves a systematic and thorough process

• Model used: ADDIE

– Analysis

– Design

– Development

– Implementation

–

Evaluation



Analysis phase

i. Analyse your pupils (make assumptions about the condition of yourstudents)

ii. Think about the students attitude, existing knowledge, skills andlearning styles

iii. Analyse the syllabus, topic or sub-topic for the T&L aids that will beconstructed

iv. Examine the structure of the title‟s concept v. Think the sequence should be mastered by students

vi. Think the support materials needed

vii. Think the materials (media) can be built or found according to themajor content and support materials

viii. Ensure the learning outcomes of the subjects is comply with curriculumand based on students abilities

ix. Discuss the way of learning suppose to be conducted

x. Think the appropriate activities and assignments to develop ameaningful, fun, relevant learning to achieve the learning outcomes



Design Phase

i. Consider the aspects of design, contents, arrangement/layout forthe display and interface

ii. Build the navigation plan

iii. Build the storyboard

iv. Defining the interactivity level



Development Phase

i. Find and select the appropriate materials/media

ii. Modify the existing media if necessary

iii. Build your own media including appropriate audio, graphics, animation

video, etc.

iv. Use appropriate software to edit graphics; audio, video, animationv. Convert all media materials into digital form

vi. Choose an appropriate authoring tool

vii. Based on the storyboard, compose it using selected authoring software.

viii. Input the multimedia element you had fixedix. Build a menu to access the topics, activities, training and resources

x. Create a link from title, activities, assignments, training, and other

resources; link back to the menu



Implementation Phase

i. Run the multimedia packages that have been developed to find

bugs. This test level is called as „Alpha Testing‟

ii. Apply your multimedia package to your students and correct the

bugs. This test level is called „Beta Testing‟



Evaluation Phase

i. Conduct an assessment regarding the effectiveness of the media

prepared

ii. Conduct an assessment regarding the T&L process you have

planned



Interactivity Design

Consists of 6 major components (Shedroff, 1994)

i. Feedback (user performance response)

ii. Control (navigation and interactivity)

iii. Creativity (users develop something)

iv. Productivity (content)

v. Communication (communication with others)

vi. Easily adapted



Advantages of using IM

i. Facilitate the student-centered learning. It provides many optionsfor learning and introducing a lot of new material

ii. Fulfil the requirements of a variety learning styles to provide a

large selection of learning approaches

iii. Motivate interaction, experimentation and students cooperativelearning

iv. Help the learning process based on the theme

v. Enhance the constructivist learning



Suitable to be used in complex le rning situ tions such as:

i. Material or content that is difficult to visualize such as complexprocesses

ii. The learning of 3 dimensional content which is usually difficult

to view in 2D

iii. Dynamic processes that require an understanding of the

relationship between moving objects

iv. Comprehensive content ; some ideas need to be combined to

understand the entire content

v. Simulation of a complex or expensive process in which no

opportunity to use real equipment



IMPORTANT ELEMENTS

1. Animated Narratives

2. Audio & Video

3. Discussion Environments

4. Games

5. Illustrated Essays

6. Interactive Images

7. Interactive Maps

8. Interactive Simulations

9. Interactive Timelines



Animated Narratives

• These graphic features reveal information

progressively or along a user-determined

path.

• can be used for storytelling or to explain a

phenomenon graphically.

• employ plug-ins such as Flash.



Audio & Video

• can make audio and video clips available on theWeb using plug-ins such as RealPlayer,QuickTime, or Windows Media.

•audio files are smaller in size than video, so itmay be possible to use audio with still images tosave on bandwidth.

• Since these files take a while to download, they

may only be useful to users with higher-bandwidth Web connections, such as cablemodems or DSL.



Discussion Environments

• provide a sense of community for Web users.

• some cases, users can share their submissions

with the larger audience, but this requires

moderation on your part. It's also possible to

simulate submissions for non-moderated use.



Games

• These features are fun, and there may be a

way to "win," even though an educational

agenda may be lurking within!



Illustrated Essays

• These "standard" Web pages of HTML text and

graphics can serve as an effective way to get

information across, as long as text is properly

"chunked" to make the content digestible tousers.

• Various graphic layout options can add

interest. They are the least expensive type ofWeb page to produce.



Interactive Images

• These graphic features let users roll their

cursor over or click on an image to provide

greater text or graphic detail, or panoramic

views.

• They may require a plug-in such as Flash or

QuickTimeVR.



A map is a visual representation of an area-a

symbolic depiction highlighting relationships

between elements of that space such as

objects, regions, and themes.

Interactive Maps



A special kind of physical simulation, often

referred to as a human in the loop simulation, in

which physical simulations include human

operators, such as in a flight simulator or adriving simulator

Interactive Simulation



• a linear representation of important events in

the order in which they occurred.
