Week 4: Courseware Design Fundamentals : Information Design

This is the most crucial part..Dr. Jamal is correct when he said that doing implimentation table is the most difficult part when designing the courseware.. The activity that we are going to do must be linked with certain theories behind it..Yes, it is avery very very challenging task..even we had 4 people in the group, we really need to brainstorm on everything and the activity are keep changing to be suit with the learning theories..pheww..!what a difficult task..huhu

so, we come out with this table..

1	3.0 LANGUAGE FOR AESTHETIC USE 3.1 Listen to, read, view and respond to literary works by: a. understanding and telling in one’s own words the story and heard and/or read and giving one’s opinion;	·     opportunity for the sharing of narratives and stories ·   Provide coaching and scaffolding at critical time o  Offer hints and strategies ·     Provide access to expert performances and the modeling of processes	Video with sound Background music	1)      Student is given the summary of the story. -   Student are asked to give their own opinion about the story -   Type the answer in the text box 2)      Students will watch the video of Rumpelstiltskin -   Student is required to give and idea or opinion about the scene given -   Student are asked to give one unique name for the character of Rumpelstiltskin

Week 3: Multimedia Project Management

• Processes in multimedia development.

In the class, Dr. Jamal did show us overall process of developing a courseware which generally follows six major stages according to ADDIE model.

• Courseware definition and planning (Analysis)
• Information architecture (Analysis) 
• Courseware design (Design)
• Courseware construction (Development)
• Courseware marketing/implementation (Implementation)
• Tracking, evaluation, and maintenance (Evaluation)

And this is the analysis (needs/requirements) for my multimedia project

• Audience analysis: Who is it for?

               - our project is develop for form 2 students from urban and rural school

• Needs analysis: Why develop it?

             - students rarely get input for Literature component except from learning it in the class

             - there are not much resources on the Literature component outside school. Hopefully, this      

               courseware will help them to get a better understanding on the Literature part.

• Content analysis: What will it cover?

            - The courseware will cover the topic of Language for aesthetic use (Literature) which is the Drama in  

               the text book (RUMPELSTILTSKIN)

            - Students will be expose on some component in the drama such as synopsis, plot, setting, characters 

               and moral values

• Resource analysis: How and how much?

            - The courseware will be in CD-ROM

            - Using adobe flash and adobe photoshop

• Estimate: When will it get done?

          - Before the end of this course

• Where: platform, marketing and distribution?

         - Secondary school

W2: Multimedia Development Process

Okay, this week Dr.Jamal did exposed us on Instructional Design Model which can be used to develop a courseware.. and the most remembered one is for sure ADDIE model. It is maybe because of the name of certain people which we always found in daily life that make us easy to remember it...hehe Okay, go back to class, there is one activity that Dr.J give us which is rearrange the correct process of developing a courseware.. Even though it looks simple but it is quite hard for me to arrange it correctly..Luckily, in the end Dr.J give us the correct version. Thanks Dr..!

W1: The Introduction..

Assalamualaikum w.b.t and hi friends..!

Okay, this is my third day of class in my second semester..still in the fresh air with the spirit of learning new things..Hopefully will get a meaningful learning throughout this semester..

Cd-Rom based Multimedia development is maybe not really new to me because I've learnt the basic of it during my first degree in UTM 2 or 3 years back..need to recall back on what I have learnt..But previously I learned to developed a courseware using Authorware which I think it is easier than other software..I enjoy doing it..However, now, I need to develop a courseware using Flash which is more challenging for me because I am just a beginner in using it..Hopefully everything will goes according to the plan..Insyallah....
