Welcome to 'Introduction to Multimedia'.This course is designed to introduce students to the concept that Multimedia encapsulates weaving together different applications to create dynamic forms of communication. Learning the building blocks of Multimedia takes time and patience. This course examines the diverse range of on-line texts, basic hypertext theory, interactivity and information design available. In the process of which students are skilled in the technical, aesthetic, textual and functional aspects of multimedia communication and production. Multimedia is a form of communication, and technical proficiency will enhance your ability to communicate through multimedia, but never substitute for a good understanding of this communications process. In this course you get to hone your understanding of this process by producing multimedia targeted at specific readers and reflecting on the way your text relates to its readers. The course also aims to give you technical skills that will form the basis for your future studies in multimedia. Even if this is the only multimedia course you are taking, you can be confident that you will emerge with an understanding of the various technical elements that go together to make a multimedia text, good digital image processing skills and the ability to produce a web page from the ground up, without the need for any HTML editing packages. If you are one of the people that has come to this course with prior experience in Multimedia, do not expect that this course will not be challenging, as you will have to focus on the process of communicating and work under technical restraints. I hope you will find that you have a much richer understanding of Multimedia after completing this course.
