Multimedia Case Studies

Case studies require examination of a multimedia product via a one-page analysis of its characteristics, features, and adherences to interactive design principles. Also, a short oral presentation to the class is required. This is not a formal presentation.

Your assignment is to locate a multimedia product either on the web or on CD-ROM and to present it to the class, taking great care to explain the design behind it and specific features that distinguish it from other multimedia presentations. Be able to explain the metaphor used (if there is one) and the general sequence (is it linear, random, under complete user control, etc). Be able to explain the intended purpose, objectives, target audience, and domain, and media used. For case one, the purpose of the multimedia you study must be focused on technical or training objectives. For case two, the purpose must be focused on marketing, sales, or business objectives.
