Demonstrate an understanding of essential interactive design principals and practices. Develop skills in organising and persenting interactive material. Develop new ways of designing for interactive artefacts. Apply knowledge and skills in the desing and development of interactive web based artefacts.
Develop a storyboard and supporting text for an ‘e-learning’ (artefact) relevant to your work context. Multimedia elements such as video, audio and animation may be incorporated in order to provide interaction.
|
