Multimedia:Treatments

Multimedia Home

This resource is about creating a basic treatment for the idea regarding a multimedia element. The idea of the treatment is to be a simple description of the multimedia object, with timings and the basic video and audio. This definition of the treatment has been taken from wikipedia and should be considered in relation to the storyboard.

The Basic Treatment
the treatment will consist of;
 * 1) a header that provides the subject, a brief description of the multimedia object, the learning outcomes and where the object will be embedded.
 * 2) a series of rows for each segment; icons providing visual queues to content, segment theme, duration (in minutes), counter indicating where in the overall multimedia the segment begins, a detailed description of the segment, description of the video, description of the audio (could be the actual script)
 * 3) a footer that includes all references to other open content, and all the personal information of the artist.

Example
Introduction to OpenOffice Writer In this multimedia object the learner will experience a first look at word processing with OpenOffice Writer. Upon completion of this short video the learner will be able to; Object Location: Getting started with the Writer Application
 * identify two important reasons for using a word processor
 * describe three word processed documents used within an educational setting
 * differentiate between simple and complex documents
 * describe the steps in creating a new document, add text and save the file
 * identify why the use of templates is important
 * output a file to the printer
