1. Discuss the differences among
multimedia, interactive multimedia, hypertext, and hypermedia.
Multimedia
- The combination of text, graphic and audio elements into a single collection or presentation.
Interactive Multimedia
- Give the user some control over what information is viewed and when it is viewed.
Hypermedia
- Provides a structure of linked elements through which a user can navigate and interact.
Hypertext
- The words, sections and thoughts are linked, the user can navigate through the text in a nonlinear way, quickly and intuitively.
2. Your boss wants you to create a
hypermedia system for Web visitors to find technical support information about
your company. What are some of the implications in creating this system? Should
you hand-build the links or use an automatic indexing system? Why?
Hypermedia is used as a logical extension of the term hypertext in which
graphics, audio, video, plain text and hyperlinks intertwine to create a
generally non-linear medium of information. This contrasts with the broader
term multimedia, which may be used to describe on-interactive linear
presentation as well as hypermedia. Hypermedia includes use of sound, video,
image and text.
This will attract the user and helps the user to know about the product
of the company more easily and this will definitely improve both communication
between the user and company. The user can view and test the product so for as
view of the product is concerned. However, the hypermedia restricts the speed
of the web and it also enhances the time taken for opening the site.
So for as the use of hand build indexing system and automatic indexing
is concerned, it is the glue that holds the content together. It is the layer
of order which makes the data base product, robust, and responsive, thus best
ever to serve the needs of the organization. However without automatic
indexing, one may find the precise bit of data that will ignite a new
market.
Advance Indexing System is an automatic link generation enhances
reusability of the multimedia material after it is organized in a lesson
structure. This approach allows authors to create different context-based
presentations starting from the expected skill of the target users. Advanced
indexing schemes will be further available for dynamic and interactive
hypermedia generation.
Project 2.3
Access a computer.
Identify two programs that allow you to manipulate text. Write some text in
varied styles and fonts. Print the results. For each, list:
§ The program’s name.
§ The ways in which that program allows you to change text. Can you easily
change the font? The color? The style? The spacing?
Notepad
A notepad program provide navigation format button to choose a font
format to change the font. This is a simple program which can’t change the
color of the font and font spacing but can easily change into a different type
of font, font style (Regular, Bold, Italic) and size of font with limited
choice available and the change of font only can be viewed on a notepad itself.

Microsoft Word
A user - friendly program for all users regardless they are pro or newbie
because it is very easy to use and to manage which can create a different sort
of font, size, color, style, spacing line or text highlight color. In addition,
we also can put some effect on text such as superscript, subscript,
strikethrough and so on.

Project 2.4
Create a new
document in a word processing application. Next, type in a line of text and
copy the line five times. Now change each line into a different font. Recopy
the entire set of lines three times. Finally, change the size of the first set
to 10-point text, the second set to 18-point text, and the third set to
36-point text.
§ Which of the
smallest lines of text is most readable?
- The most readable
text of the smallest lines is SET 1 at line number 4.
§ Which line of text
stands out the most?
- The line of text
that stands out of the most is SET 3 at line number 2.
