Multimedia Presentations

There are a number of possible uses NTU staff might have for Multimedia presentations incorporating audio, video and interactivity:

Adobe Captivate is the supported technologies which enable these types of uses:

Virtual Lectures

  • If a student cannot attend the lecture a recording of it can be added with the relevant slides accompanying the lecture to be viewed at any time on the Internet. Take a look at this Adobe Captivate example.

Refresher

  • To act as a refresher for students, reminding them of past lectures.
    Even if a student did attend a previous lecture, using Adobe Captivate media can remind them of relevant lectures that could prove useful near exam time.

Training

  • To train students/lecturers in practical skills (e.g. IT skills, research methodology etc).

Share Information

  • To share as an information source
    Finally, Adobe Captivate can be used to share information about anything relevant to your subject or school. Their versatile features let you choose from a number of layout options allowing you to import most types of media without the use of high spec video and editing software.

Promotional Information

  • Lecturers can use Adobe Captivate to introduce themselves to potential students and students making module changes. Audio or Video clips of the lecturer/tutor speaking about the course would give a clear overview of the subject, with a personal touch.

The Learning and Teaching Unit is available to assist you with your project ideas and help you learn the process of creating a multimedia presentation.
