Mobile/smartphone  a blessing for learning and monitoring security

: Blog from Murli Menon

I’m just a beginner in about digital /multimedia  and still trying to write a few lines  from this week 1 learning. I’m here trying to put together and associate my thought in a true form.

Multimedia: It’s the presence of text, pictures, sound, animation and video; organized in a logical way. Why the world ,these days are talking about Multimedia? Because the tremendous benefits it provides to the digital users.

1.      Problem solving :  Human brain dedicates itself to visual processing, thereby using  images ,videos , animation and texts.  In a multimedia learning environment, students are able to pay attention and increase their retention ability.

2.      Deeper understanding:  Multimedia learning stimulates the brain to make association between verbal and visual representations. We are equipping the present generation for a high level of thinking , problem solving and skills needed for the future competitive world.

3.      Positive emotions: Multimedia promotes positive attitude for students to learn  and pro-activeness .

4.      It’s multi: So we get varieties of information  and smartphones are a blessing for them to search for information, sharing and participate in active discussion in the class rooms.

5.      More opportunities: Educational video can provide more opportunities for students to engage with the content materials and texts etc.  Video can sometimes demonstrate complex ideas and access other times and places better than speaking can.

6.      Supplement materials: Instructors can use video to provide supplemental materials for their students. This can help reinforce content and give students resources to prepare for assessments.

 Characteristics of media:

1, Synchronous  and Asynchronous technologies /media:

Synchronous technology  is a blend of history-based and history-free modeling.. It’s a support learning at the same time but not the same location. Video conferencing on Google or Zoom meet are the examples for it.

Asynchronous media:  Here participants can access information at different points of time at different locations and their ease and convenience. Videos from YouTube and Podcast are some examples.

Characteristic 2 :

Broadcast and communicative media;

A major structural distinction is between ‘broadcast’ media that are primarily one-to-many and one-way, and those media that are primarily many-to-many��or ‘communicative’, allowing for two-way or multiple communication connections. Communicative media include those that give equal ‘power’ of communication between multiple end users.

Television, radio and print for example are primarily broadcast or one-way media, as end users or ‘recipients’ cannot change the ‘message’ whereas the telephone, video-conferencing, e-mail, online discussion forums, most social media and the Internet are examples of communicative media or technologies.

Characteristics 3:

Media Richness

Media richness , sometimes referred to as information richness theory, is a framework used to describe a communication medium's ability to reproduce the information sent over it. Here learners learn better when new information is presented and students can clear their concepts.

Characteristic :

Interactivity:

Following ingredients are to be considered  and design accordingly,  in the interaction presentation.

1.      Reactive and passive interaction
