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[1] has been taken from wikipedia and should be considered in relation to the storyboard[2].

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;

  • 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

Object Location: Getting started with the Writer Application

voice captured during video recording, subjects include;

  1. welcome to word processing
  2. what is word processing?
  3. importance of word processing in teaching

  5. used extensively in business
  6. ability to standardize using templates
  • lighting will be important
  • have a dark background
  • dress professionally
Nuvola apps multimedia.png Samples 0:40 1:20 Have a video of some sample documents from a teaching situation a voice should be included describing each document Use a video camera to capture document fly-bys with a beginner, intermediate, advanced, business and templates types of documents audio should accompany the fly-by
  • images should be white pages on a white background
  • documents should have a similar theme (i.e. anchor school)
  • include concept of electronic forms using Writer and business / school administration
Nuvola apps password.png Simple to Complex 0:40 2:00 Show three different documents; one a simple letter, a white paper with advanced graphics and one more of an electronic form haved three distinct documents from the same organization with increasing complexity highlight how documents can build upon one another and become increasingly complex meeting different needs; letters to whitepapers to electronic forms
  • again images should be white pages on a white background
  • an anchor theme is important
Nuvola apps kcmkwm.png Editing a letter 1:30 2:40 Creating a new document, editing a simple letter, saving the file and printing have a simple screencast using OpenOffice Writer to create a new letter, add text, format, save the file audio to accompany letter creation
  • stay within the anchor theme

  6. ability to standardize using templates
None
