| Need
user navigation and interactive functions? |
| The term
multimedia means more than just an amalgamation of other media
formats. It refers to a set of navigation and interactive functions
that, together with traditional and emerging media formats,
deliver an unprecedented level of involvement and control. |
| In our
experience, a high level of navigation is not the critical ingredient
of a multimedia product. In fact we see many products that are
“over-navigable” with multiple navigation menus
and extra links that make it impossible for a user to know where
they have been or where they are going within the structure
of the media resource. |
| If
there is a definite objective or outcome to be achieved, high
levels of navigation and extra user functions are most often
counterproductive. |
| The
best structure, navigation and interactive functions of a multimedia
resource can only be identified by analysing the inherent structure
of your information, along with the desired outcomes. |
| If
the content is conceptually linear, the structure and navigation
of the media should be linear. If the content is conceptually
hierarchical, the structure and navigation of the media should
be hierarchical. |
| Media@work
has the structural analysis and instructional design experience
to identify the inherent structure of your information and develop
the simplest and clearest structure, navigation and user functionality
that accommodate your content. |
