3.6+Multimedia

=3.6 Multimedia= Multimedia/digital media involves the use and integration of media (for example, text, images and graphic elements, animation, sound and music, and video) to create digital products that are available online or offline.

This topic introduces ITGS students to the technologies that make information accessible through different media and online services. It is important that the ITGS student is aware of the actual uses of multimedia/digital media and, bearing in mind the emphasis on practical work in this topic, has practiced using the tools in order to be able to evaluate their effectiveness in various scenarios.

Multimedia/digital media raises questions about a range of impacts, issues and solutions that the ITGS student must investigate, including copyright, intellectual property, and current practices and policies used to grant permission for use.

Possible scenario

A school would like to create a print yearbook with an online version. The print version would contain only text and photos. The online version would also include audio, video and multimedia files. The yearbook team is also considering burning the website version on to a DVD and including it in the back of the printed version of the yearbook. A number of factors need to be considered in producing the print yearbook, the website and the DVD. These are: • whether to develop the IT products in school or to use a commercial provider • whether the necessary IT systems are available to produce a high-quality print yearbook and to create an online yearbook and DVD with audio and video files • whether the content to be included in all three versions of the yearbook is accessible • what professional guidelines must be followed in the design of the three products • what copyright, intellectual property and licensing are required for three versions of the yearbook • what can be learned from yearbooks produced by other schools in these three formats.

IT concepts to address in this topic

Theoretical concepts • Design guidelines for creating multimedia/digital media • Design methods: for example, site map, storyboard

Data collection • Primary and secondary data • Multimedia file formats: for example, text formats, audio formats, video formats, presentation formats,vimage/graphics formats • Policies, copyright, citing sources, Creative Commons, licensing and watermarking • Digital rights management (DRM)

Use ITGS Key Terms. Use multimedia to enhance your presentation. Submit via Edmodo (3.6F, 100 marks). You may work with ONE partner on this presentation. The ultimate goal of your presentation will be to get everyone else to in the class to the Blue or Green Learning Goal / Cup Status. I suggest incorporating a brief game (kahoot!, quizlet, trivia, jeopardy, etc.) and assignment to accompany your presentation. Each team will have a maximum of 20 minutes to teach their topic. Presentations will begin on Monday. The first presentation will be given by the "Creating Better Presentations" team.

Your lesson should include:
 * Appropriate presentation length
 * Using slides with appropriate, effective images
 * Using a small selection of fonts
 * Using a small selection of slide transitions
 * A consistent approach to design (color, transitions, fonts, and other elements)
 * Appropriate amounts of text on slides
 * Appropriate use of colors / clearly visible text
 * No errors in spelling or grammar

Presenter's skills should include:
 * Speaking clearly with confidence
 * Limited use of notes for prompting (not reading)
 * Facing the audience
 * Not reading slides to the audience
 * Non-speaking group members are not a distraction
 * Good coordinated team work

Presentations will be assessed with the ITGS Presentation Rubric and will begin Monday during class.

3.6H 3.6 Paper 1 Style Assessment (100 marks).

How to prepare for Paper 1 Style Assessment
 * Study all content covered in the books, learning activities, and especially-key terms. Review PPI and DPI, Copyright, Digital Audio and Video, Compression, File Formats, and Virtual Actors.
 * Read details about Paper 1 in ITGS Guide pages 46-52 (see parts relevant to Paper 1).

Tips for 3.6 (Paper 1 Style) Assessment
 * Read each scenario and be sure to answer the question while using command terms.
 * Use a formal style of writing with good spelling and grammar. Bullet points do not have depth and paragraph/sentence style is better. Avoid symbols and words such as:
 * --> (used in math meaning if...then), do not use in writing
 * etc. (worth no marks)
 * & (write out 'and')
 * Avoid SMS-speak ('u' instead of 'you' and other instances)
 * misspelling words that appear in the question or misspelling ITGS words
 * phrases such as 'it is obvious' contributes nothing to the argument
 * Look for the Triangle in the scenario. Underline Command Terms and bold [|Key Terms].
 * Organize responses before writing. Include ITGS terminology (Key Terms) and provide specific examples with description and explanations as required by the Command Term.
