Multimedia can have many definitions these include: (A computer system perspective) 23 Multimedia means that computer information can be represented through audio, video, and animation in addition to traditional media (i.e., text, graphics/drawings, images). Back Close General Definition A good general working definition for this module is: 24 Multimedia is the field concerned with the computer controlled integration of text, graphics, drawings, still and moving images (Video), animation, audio, and any other media where every type of information can be represented, stored, transmitted and processed digitally. Back Close Multimedia Application Definition A Multimedia Application is an application which uses a collection of multiple media sources e.g. text, graphics, images, sound/audio, animation and/or video. 25 Back Close What is HyperText and HyperMedia? Hypertext is a text which contains links to other texts. The term was invented by Ted Nelson around 1965. 26 Back Close HyperText Navigation Traversal through pages of hypertext is therefore usually non-linear (as indicated below). 27 This has implications in layout and organisation of material — and depends a lot on the application at hand.

...Multimedia refers to any application that combined several elements of multimedia such as text, graphics, animation, audio and video. A combination of text, audio, animation, video, images/graphics, and interactivity define multimedia. Each appeals to a human sense. The degree and manner to which each is used has the potential to increase learning. The mix of video, audio, and high quality graphics afforded by multimedia may grab the attention of students, particularly poor readers, in ways that traditional approaches to instruction would not (Kenworthy, 1993). In multimedia environments, learners construct meaningful knowledge by "selecting words and selecting images from the presented material, organizing words and organizing images into coherent mental representations, and integrating the resulting verbal and visual representations with one another" (Mayer, 1997, p. 4). Sound The sound is used to provide emphasis or highlight the transition from one page to another. Sound synchronization screen, so that teachers can submit a lot of information. Creative use of sounds to become imaginative stimulus; improper use, it has become an obstacle or an annoyance. The distance between the two properties amount - the acoustic frequency in each peak height of these wave patterns - (sometimes referred to as pitch) peaks. The greater the distance, low voice. Representatives, through video visualization capabilities can be direct and powerful. While this is no doubt, it is how we see...

The Kelsey School District is no exception. Kelsey School District’s current is poorly designed and put together which makes getting information very difficult to website visitors. A review of the website for the Kelsey School District was conducted to help find ways to improve it. Several categories were chosen and examined to help improve the functionality of the Kelsey School District website. The categories that were chosen are Page Layout, Browser Compatibility, Navigation, Color and Graphics, Multimedia, Content Presentation, Functionality, and Accessibility. These categories provide a good overview of what makes a website easy to access as well as help it be memorable to those that do access it. The following table breaks apart the categories even more as well as provides a comparison of the Kelsey School District to two other school district websites.
