Multimedia Technologies: Designs, Tools and Applications


Book Description

Any content, which integrates different content forms such as audio, animations, interactive content, images and video to convey a message is known as multimedia. It can be displayed, recorded, played and accessed by devices or tools like mobile phones, tablets, computers, televisions, etc. The two broad categories of multimedia technology are linear and non-linear. Linear multimedia technologies refer to the content progression without viewer navigational control whereas non-linear multimedia employs interactivity to control progression, like in video games. The usage of multimedia technology is constantly growing. It is used in advertising, journalism, designing video games, animations like VFX, computer-based education, etc. It is also used in technical fields like mathematical and scientific research, medicine and engineering. This book traces the progress in the field of multimedia technology and highlights some of its key designs and tools. Such selected concepts that redefine this vast subject have been presented herein. Those with an interest in multimedia technology and its applications would find this book helpful.

Media Technology in Education


Book Description

This volume offers rare perspectives examining the influence of media technology on learning patterns and behaviours among today’s youth in Uganda. The various contributions from international scholars discuss general introductory aspects dealing with the fabric and structure of Uganda’s society and educational institutions, and how they are affected by new media technology and innovations. Next to outlining the increasing challenge to unify traditional patterns and the adaptation of media-based practices that modern societies are built upon, the book offers detailed insight into practical solutions that serve as inspiring examples of how to successfully bridge the gap between the two. While titles on youth and media tend to focus on a Western perspective, the proposed volume enables a closer look at things in a country and a region often neglected by researchers. The work offers a specific examination of media and education provided by national and international scholars.
