Option Topic: Authoring and Multimedia

This option topic allows the students to develop a project with the use of three types of  multimedia. The task allows students to develop their skills using authoring software in the development (BOS 2003). Students learn about multimedia projects, data types, authoring software systems and the project development.

James and Graces' presentation used Bushfire Awareness as a topic for the multimedia project. By providing the questions to students to include in their presentation, students are able to utilise the resources to present their multimedia project. This project allows students to learn about design, produce and evaluate a simple project for a real world application.

To assist with developing student direction in a quality learning environment, I could have students decide on their own topic to create a project.
