Course Content

The main objective of this course is to introduce the area of multimedia which is media and content that utilizes a combination of different content forms. The course also focuses on the theory of multimedia and managing the variable content that is the combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, and interactivity content forms.
Multimedia is media and content that utilizes a combination of different content forms. The term can be used as a noun (a medium with multiple content forms) or as an adjective describing a medium as having multiple content forms. The term is used in contrast to media which only utilize traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material. Multimedia includes a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, and interactivity content forms.
