The multimedia revolution has created exciting new opportunities for the construction of powerful learning environments that encompass a wide variety of disciplines such as computing, graphic design, psychology and film theory. This book is a dynamic new text which provides a principled framework for the development of multimedia learning environments.This framework divides multimedia design into conceptual and presentation levels. Conceptual design proposes a new synthesis for relating the scattered knowledge in this area, and creating the deep learning architecture of the system. Presentation design deals with the realisation of the system as a computer-based entity, and involves issues such as screen layout, colour schemes and the detailed use of the individual media. Finally, this book illustrates how to develop projects to bond all of these diverse elements into a productive spiral where design, implementation and evaluation are interwoven to form multimedia learning environments.
