MULTIMEDIA AND ICT
OBJECTIVES
1.Define multimedia and ICT.
2.Identify uses of multimedia in different fields.
3.Classify types of rich content.
4.Relate experiences with interactivity and user participation.
RICH CONTENT IN THE ONLINE ENVIRONMENT AND THE USER EXPERIENCE
Humans interact with technology in many ways with the use of desktop application, internet browser, handheld computers, cellphones, and others. Technology serves, assists, and cooperates with humans to complement enrich normal activities (for example, education, health, communication, services, business, etc.) with minimal explicit concern or effort on the human part.
MULTIMEDIA AND ICT DEFINED
MULTIMEDIA is a combination of text, animated graph video and sound delivered to you via electronic means. It is what appeals to users for entertainment, learning and research.
IT or information and communication technology_(ICT) covers any communication device or application including radio, television, cellular phones, computer and network hardware and software, satellite systems, as well as various services and applications.
Information technology_(IT) is defined as the study or use of electronic equipment, especially computers for storing, analyzing and sending out information.
Communication technology_(CT), is the process of sending, receiving and exchanging information.
USES OF MULTIMEDIA
EDUCATION
Multimedia is use to create and produce computer-b training (CB) materials and courses, including online o based encyclopedias. It has been observed that learning is faster and easier with a properly assembled multimedia of voice, video, graphics, and texts.

Interactive technology helps create opportunities for communication. It can encourage teachers and students to communicate more, share and discuss ideas, and collaborate with each other. Examples of multimedia learning include watching a PowerPoint presentation, watching a pre-recorded lecture or reading a physics textbook.
ENTERTAINMENT
Multimedia use is very much in any modern movies and animations to develop special effects and virtual world.
Computer games also use enormous multimedia content and features to make them more relevant. Interactive multimedia is a term applied to multimedia applications that allow users to take part, contribute and participate in online games.

MATHEMATICS AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
In the area of mathematical and scientific research multimedia is primarily used for modelling and simulation.
For example, looking at a molecular model by a scientist of a particular substance and manipulate it to arrive at a new substance.
Multimedia is used to simulate and model various situations that would otherwise be difficult to grasp in real time, as in the case of an erupting volcano or tornado, wherein after effects can be presented to the public. Mathematical equations and formulas that can be presented as visual models can easily be viewed by the use of multimedia.
GOVERNMENT
Multimedia is used by governments around the world disseminate information, procedures, and regulations for their citizens and visitors. Multimedia also finds uses in military, engineering, and many other fields.
MULTIMEDIA INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT FOR DIGITAL GOVERNMENT BECAUSE IT IS OFTEN A MORE NATURAL COMMUNICATION MODE FOR PEOPLE THAN TEXT. IT IS THUS IMPORTANT THAT GOVERNMENT BE RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS AND DESIRES OF CITIZENS BY PROVIDING IT.
