1. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Computers and Multimedia Presenter: Jene Rose B. Siges Researcher: Honey Grace B. Sedra PPT Maker: Klaire V. Saycon Presented to: Ms. Mizpahgen P. Moralla

2. Multimedia as an Educational Tool For many of us, the lure of computers is a powerful one. However, many of us also refrain from using computers for fear of failure. We want to hone computer skills but are scared to make the effort because we lack those very skills. Too many of us especially in the field of learning, are caught in this modern tug-of-war.

3. In 1980s & 1990s, concept of multimedia took on a new meaning. Capabilities of satellites, computers, audio and video converged to create new media. Combined w/ the advances in hardware and software, these provide enhanced learning facility and attention to the specific needs of individual users.

4. A primary application of the interactive multimedia for instruction is in an instructional situation where the learner is given a material for him/ her to review at her/his own pace, interest, needs and cognitive processes.

5. Interactive multimedia materials’ goal is not to replace teachers rather multimedia must be extremely well designed and sophisticated to mimic the best teacher, by combining the various elements of the cognitive processes and the best quality of technology.

6. Define “Multimedia” Advantages of Multimedia in Education and Training Disadvantages of Multimedia in Education and Training

7. “Multimedia” “ a judicious mix of various mass media such as print, audio and video” the development of computer based hardware and software packages produced on a mass scale and yet allow individualized use and learning “is the exciting combination of computer hardware and software that allows you to integrate video, animation, audio, graphics, and test resources to develop effective presentations on an affordable desktop computer” ( Fenrich , 1997) “Is characterized by the presence of text, picture, sound, animation and video; some or all of which are organized into some coherent program” (Phillips, 1997)

8. The need for making Multimedia Courseware Multimedia enables us to provide a way by which learners can experience their subject in a vicarious manner with the use of graphic, video, and audio rather than in a sequential manner. Can provide an enhanced or augmented learning experience at a low cost per unit. Enables learning through exploration, discovery, and experience

9. enables learning to be fun and friendly, without fear of inadequacies or failure Uses the natural information-processing abilities that we already possess as humans “a picture is worth a thousand words” Multimedia courseware is over the text based variety because application looks better.

10. Practical Disadvantages of Multimedia Multimedia requires high-end computers Sound, images, animation, and video, constitute large amounts of data, which slow down, or may not eve fit in a low end computer In writing multimedia courseware may not be accessible to a large section of its intended users if they do not have access to multimedia-capable machines

11. Have high development costs and the process of developing effective multimedia takes time Requires money for multimedia package User must have minimum level of computer literacy in order to exploit the capabilities of this medium for learning Training of the educator with unfamiliar skills in terms of production and design of multimedia courseware or packages can be equally complicating

12. Advantages and Disadvantages of Computers We are now in the modern age, where people use modern tools and equipment to make our lives more comfortable. Most people now use computers to improve the quality of their lives and to make their tasks and works easier. Most of jobs today require the use of computers.

14. Can require a lot of maintenance Has a possibility of data lost, file corruption and damage to hardware Can cause eye blindness Addiction

15. Computers play important roles in our lives. Computers are powerful tools for you and the organization, because computers enable to more easier and effectively and can help you do many things. Use computer properly and in the positive way.
