# Week 3: Multimedia Courseware Design

This week we learn about how to design a courseware, probably on the first until the last step of designing it.

This is one of the crucial stage, where in designing a courseware, the developer should be very clear on the purpose of the development of the courseware itself.

A few things should be considered, such as:

1. concept
2. target audience
3. value
4. content
5. design
6. cost

There are tools that we can used to present these things ;

1. Flow Chart - To discuss about the content, strategy to be used
2. Storyboard -  a picturize of ideas (navigation-button) and how will it flow( from menu to...)
3. Prototype - an early design that will be criticize for improvement.

As for me, designing part ( by using storyboard) is the most critical part in order to make the courseware is useful and interactive enough. 

So here, i attached a model that can be used in designing a multimedia project.

# Week 2: Multimedia Development Process

This week lecture are including:

• Steps in developing multimedia application

• Design model and methodology

• Instructional design model

In all of the topic above, there is one thing that I wanted to reflect about. Under the topic of instructional design, I would like to emphasize on the instructional design project.

In developing a course ware, it is important to apply the instructional theory. This is because, those types of instructional design, will giving different experience to the pupils in exploring their learning session.

Below are types of instructional design that can be applied in the course ware:

a) Drill and practice - always used in mathematics lesson

b) Tutorials- been used to motivate the pupils to learn, a linear application

c)Simulation - suitable inscience subject where we can apply the Science Process Skill

d)Games - Sooo interactive (even I love it so much)

e)Problem Solving - quite a high mental process needed

Hence, in developing my project in this semester, I have to make sure which instructional design is really suitable with the subject that I choose. I am thinking of using ALL of these since I wanted to develop a course ware that will makes my pupils happy, gaining more knowledge and the best part is experiencing the fun of this subject through undergoing this course ware. I will discuss with my team later, insyaAllah.

# Week 1: MPT1293

It is 'a default activity' happened in my 1st class of my new semester. Get to know my lecturer and friends, studying on the weekly schedule and setting the time of class in order to make sure we are able to perform the asar solah after class. Hamdulillah. 

Friends, as always, having a good quality of great friends and insyaAllah the person that I can rely on especially when I am unable to understand the lecture. Thank you Allah for giving me the opportunity to meet those people. You are always there for me,  Hamdulillah. 

Anyway, what this course is all about? This course gives exposure and experience to us in developing interactive educational multimedia application based on appropriate software design theory. Hence, at the end of this course my team will be able to develop a course ware that can be used in the teaching and learning session in school. 

 I really hope that I can develop something for my darling KSSR pupils. May this semester will sailing smooth. May Allah ease everything. 

I'm looking for this book for now.
