The study aims at determining the impact of learning driven constructs on Perceived Higher Order Cognitive Skills (HOCS) improvement when using multimedia and text materials. Perceived HOCS improvement is the attainment of HOCS based on the students’ perceptions. The research experiment undertaken using a case study was conducted on 223 students split into two groups who used multimedia and tex...

The large amount and the ubiquitous availability of multimedia information (e.g., video, audio, image, and also text documents) require e cient, e ective, and automatic annotation and retrieval methods. As videos start to play an even more important role in multimedia, content-based retrieval of videos becomes an issue, especially as there should be an integrated methodology for all types of mu...

T here has been an amazing amount of work done and progress achieved in the field of multimedia search over the past two decades. As nicely elaborated on by Lei Zhang and Yong Rui in their recent review of the advances in this field, the developments so far have gone through three main stages: the text-based stage, the content-based stage, and the Web-based stage. In the text-based stage, multi...

One of the most ubiquitous activities related to learning in the digital age is “search”. In recent years, computers have rapidly evolved from numeric and text processing to include multimedia, specifically audio, video, and images. However, few methods exist for searching multimedia, apart from textbased strategies operating on keywords, metadata and filenames. Creating text descriptions for m...

The use of online learning tutorials to provide instruction in schools of nursing is growing in popularity; however, the outcomes associated with this method of instruction are not well documented. The focus of this experimental study, conducted at 2 universities in northern California, was to determine the effectiveness of an online interactive multimedia-learning tool versus text only, text a...

An experiment was conducted to assess the use of `Multimedia' in ESS (executive support system) and its potential impact on the effectiveness of information analysis. Data was collected from 40 managers and/or professional employees in three business organizations. The primary task was to analyze information, stored in an ESS prototype, in order to identify some possible threats and opportuniti...

Multimedia data, such as text, audio, images and video, is rapidly evolving as the main form for the creation, exchange, and storage of information in the modern era. Primarily, this is attributed to rapid advances in the three major technologies that determine its growth: VLSI technology that is producing greater processing power; broad-band networks (ISDN, ATM, etc) that are providing much hi...
