Application of Multimedia in Education
ABSTRACT
This paper present how we can applied multimedia
elements in a way which it can be used for
educational purpose. The traditional approach of
learning system that had been used for the last
generation had proved to be helpful. However, with
the help of multimedia, it can help enhancing our
educational system and make learning to be more
interesting and fun. The problem with the traditional
approach of learning is that it is lack in creativity and
often hard to understand. This tend to make learning a
bit difficult and boring. Traditional learning also lack
in resource. This will make learning harder as
students tend to be confuse and unable to understand
the topic that they learn. With the help of multimedia
which provide a lot of resource, learning could be fun
and exciting experience. It will also help students to
fully grasp an understanding of the subject that they
learn. With the help of multimedia element, the
educational system could evolved into that is much
better that the traditional system.

B. Graphic
Graphic are two-dimensional figure or illustration. It
is the most creative ways of learning approach. It can
be either a photograph, drawing or picture. There are
many types of picture format such as GIF, JPEG and
PNG. Using graphic in education will increase the
students understanding. It will also enhance their
memory skill because picture are easy to remember.
This is because image use a massive amount of
cortical skills such as color, form, line, dimension and
imagination. This will help the students to get a clear
picture of what they are learning. Figure 2 shows the
use of graphic in education.
C. Audio
Audio has been use in education for many decade.
Because everything that we learn can be recorded, it is
an effective tool for the students because they use it to
interact with the course content provided by their
teacher at any times and any location that they want.
Audio also ease the students by conducting live online
discussion via audio tools and platform. There are a
few widely use software that can be use for this such
as Wechat, Whatapps, Line and Skype. This will not
only save some time rather than meeting face-to-face
it also frequently used for long distance learning.
Sound can also be use by teacher to present a lot of
information at once. This will help teacher to explain
the content of the topic in a much interesting ways
which will help the students to understand the topic.
Learning by using audio also can help disable people
such as blind people to learn as shown in Figure 3.
This is one of the few ways for them to learn because
they cannot see and read. This shows that the use of
sound in education can benefit a lot of people if used
in the correct way.
E. Animation
Animation are created using continuous motion and
shape change combined together to produce an
animation. This happened because of a biological
phenomenon called persistent of vision and
psychological phenomenon called phi. This enable us
to see animation the way it is. Animation are different
than video. This is because video is taken from real
life event while animation are usually taken from
drawing. There are a few animation software that are
used in educational field such as Adobe Flash,
Authoware and Director. By using this software,
students can use their own creativity and idea to
present a project that they like. this help to improve
their creativity while bringing fun in learning.
Animation also can help students to learn faster and
easier. This is because they can help teacher to explain
a difficult topic. For example, the flow of blood
throughout the body cannot be seen. The flow of
blood in and out of the heart are difficult for students
to understand in the beginning. By providing a
structural animation of our blood circulatory system
and the heart, students can see clearly how it work.
This can help provide a better understanding about the
topic to students. With the help of computer
animation, learning and teaching can be much more
easier faster and amusing.
D. Video
Video is widely used multimedia element. It also has
the highest performance on your computer or device
among the five elements. There are a few standard
video format for educational use such as MPEG2 that
is used for Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) playback or
MPEG4 for home video. Sometimes, using text or
other multimedia elements to convey information are
hard and complex This type of multimedia element are
used because it can provide visual stimulation for
students so that they can have a better understanding
in learning. This prove to be helpful in surgical
training where students cannot just understand the
producer for surgery just by reading. So, a video of a
surgery in action is needed so that the students can
understand. Teacher can also ask their students to
make a video project. This is because it can help them
getting in touch with the real element of what they are
learning and show it to their other classmate. It also
can help to enhance their practical skill. This is
because, by doing a video they are expose to the
