LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
Multimedia and ICT
Background Information

Multimedia is the heart of every presentation, website and online interface in the context of the 21st
century. It triggers the different senses to function well and catches the attention of the user which aims to
satisfy the audience through the use of different multimedia content like texts, music, photos or images,
interactive contents, animations, and videos.
The user experience serves as a tool to measure the usefulness of a product or service. It is his
behavior as a person towards the application or product that evaluates through his reaction while using the
product.
For that reason, you, the learner, is encouraged to know and understand the connection of multimedia and
ICT. By knowing their connection, you can easily understand, assess and determine rich content of each
online application. And as a future developer of a multimedia application, this will give you the right
insights on how to create meaningful content.
Majority of the existing websites on the internet are interactive. The content can be modified based
on the preference of the users. It allows users to interact with the site even to comment or create their own
account. It also gives the user enough space such as file storage and let them use the web browser instead of
just using their site. There are some instances that there are ads that will flash on the screen of the website
that encourage the users to use and subscribe on it. Those are the promotional materials generated by the
web host and it is an example of a Web 3.0.
