1. Multimedia in
Education
"People only retain 20% of what they see and 30% of what they
hear, but they remember 50% of what they hear and see, and as
much as 80% of what they see, hear and do simultaneously."
- Computer Technology Research 1993

2. Multimedia

wherein "multi" means various and "media"

4. Text
Text is the basic element of multimedia.
Generally, it provides the important
information. It acts as the keystone tying all
of the other media elements together.
In using text as an element, you should
consider how to present it in acceptable way
and supplementing it with other media.

5. Sound
Sound can be described as the vibrations
that travel through air that can be heard by
humans. It is used to provide emphasis or
highlight a transition from one page to
another. It also paired with a complex image
or visual display with a spoken explanation.

6. Video
Real-life situations can be better understood
via video. the use of video is appropriate to
convey information about environment that
can be either dangerous or expensive to
consider or recreate. It can be used also to
give example of phenomena or issues
referred in the text.

7. Animation
It is used to show changes in state over time
or to present information slowly to students
so that they have to assimilate it in smaller
chunks. It is primarily used to demonstrate
an idea or illustrate a concept.

8. Graphics
Graphics provide the most creative
possibilities for a learning session. They can
be photographs, drawings, graphs from
spread sheet, pictures from CD-ROM or
something pulled from the internet.
