Abstract
Multimedia has always fascinated educationists because of its strengths to
communicate difficult concepts in simple ways. With the availability of more and
more sophisticated computers with multimedia capabilities, the potentialities to use
multimedia have also grown tremendously. In the case of Open and Distance
Education, which depends on self-learning materials, the use of multimedia enriches
the teaching learning experiences by providing a multi-sensory perspective. While it
has been acknowledged that multimedia can be useful in the teaching-learning
scenario of both face-to-face and distance learning settings, educators tend to
believe that development of multimedia requires knowledge of high-end
programming. This is true only partially. Today, with the availability of software like
Flash, Director, 3D Studio Max, etc, we can develop multimedia lessons with a little
practice of the software. Therefore, you see many highly skilled multimedia
designers in the market. But knowledge of the software alone is not enough to
prepare a good educational multimedia. In order to be useful to the learner, a
multimedia programme design needs to have a sound pedagogical base. This
handbook intends to help teachers in understanding the basic concepts of
multimedia and various issues involved in the development of educational
multimedia.
