Specifications for multimedia development/MM SB

Discussion about the process for creating multimedia.

Note: The multimedia guidelines page was developed a while ago to start to identify possible requirements, issues etc.

What are the possible requirements?

• creating a static (e.g. screenshot) graphic for the wiki which will be viewed in the wiki/in print form
• creating a static graphic which will be accessed in e-learning (e.g. CD/LMS/Website)
• creating an animation for the wiki which will be viewed in the wiki
• creating an animation for the wiki which will be accessed in e-learning (e.g. CD/LMS/Website)
• creating an interactive animation/simulation (flash) for the wiki which will be viewed in the wiki
• creating an interactive animation/simulation (flash)which will be accessed in e-learning (e.g. CD/LMS/Website)
• creating a video or audio for the wiki which will be viewed/listened to in the wiki
• creating a video or audio which will be viewed/listened to in e-learning (e.g. CD/LMS/Website)

Storyboarding/scripting templates

Media storyboard

• Name ((copy)wiki page name + graphic name)
• Description of the requirement (see above)
• Expected delivery mode (e.g. print only, e-learning online only, e-learning offline only etc.)
• Explanation of the learner experience expected (interaction)
• Visual description
• Position of the item; on screen or on paper
• alt, height, and width attributes for every image.
• alt text caption
• Format required (if needed)
• Metadata

Priority ranking?

Scripting template

For all media items - video, audio, animation etc.

Note: This can be the actual text that will be used inside of a media item where the media engine is separated out from the text (XML). So the flash move will use the XML at runtime.

This can also be a .TXT file.

Wiki placeholders

Image needed
Multimedia needed

Do we need a placeholder to identify media which will not sit in the wiki, but will be developed for external delivery?
