Subject Description

Multimedia and the web are becoming increasingly important in the application of information systems to commerce, education, communications, media, health, government, hospitality, manufacturing, distribution and other industries. In this subject, students will examine, develop and implement multimedia for information systems in these contexts and consider future trends.

The subject will consider theoretical foundations of multimedia (for example, visual and graphical theory), multimedia development processes (for example, design and evaluation, management and planning), advanced technical issues (for example, streaming video, DHTML and XML), and applications of multimedia. Students should acquire advanced knowledge and skills in each of these areas.

Part of the work over the semester will be carried out in teams which assess the needs of industry groups for multimedia treatment of their information systems and devise appropriate solutions.

Assessment

End-of-semester project report and presentation. An electronic folio that will include material compiled during the subject. Details of the weighting of the assessment components will be made known at the beginning of the subject.
