Instructional Designers Learn about Pedagogy Art and Science of Instruction
Instructional Designers They support encoding audio (mp3) and visual files (Flash) Work with images Slideshows Translation of text to web (to html)
Doing It Yourself Text (Lectures & Notes) Graphics & Charts Figures (Images) Audio Films – Electronic Archives, Digitizing Animations for the Web
Graphics & Charts Issues –copyright “adapted from” –quality reproduction (need Web-ready quality) GIF, JPEG or PNG –Use PowerPoint –Excel for Charts & Graphs
Figures (Images) Vector –Art (drawing of heart, p. 10.7) –Scalable –Lines, curves, thickness, color, fill – Raster (bitmapped) –Photo (pixels) –Dpi (dots per inch) Screen = 72 dpi Printed = 300 dpi
Figures (Images) Intropolation (process) –Resizing a pixel image, lose image quality, become lossy –Image is 400 x 300 pixels, enlarge it to 400%, it becomes 1600 x 1200 pixels. This means that from a mere 120,000 pixels in the original, you go to almost 2 million pixels in the enlargement. So your computer software has to "guess" what all those new pixels are going to be, based only on those 120,000 original values.
Places to go
Audio Sound (bonk, ding, clang) Voice (clear, clear, clear) no background noise) Noise (anything that detracts rather than supports online learning) Music to 30 SECONDS Spiders Last Moments; DANCE; Paper; GridSpiders Last MomentsDANCEPaperGrid ReadPlease CrazyTalk
Films – Electronic Archives, Digitizing Use in four ways –Introduce yourself –Feature guest lecturers –Give demos –Show difficult concept How to Shoot Video for the Web Stock video clips or Waugh
Animations for Web Add interest Provide HUMOR Direct attention to a particular action or section
Animations for Web
Animations for Web Guidelines Make it small for load easibility (Under 150 K animations; 50 K for stills & graphics) Rule of thumb is one per page To create one see p
