This lesson, we got briefed on our Multimedia Assessment Task which would be due on Friday, the 10th of September. Our job was to create a website which would consist of several multimedia aspects that would have to be discussed. We had to incorporate images, videos, music and many more to produce an informative yet amusing or interesting page. We had to pick a topic from each of the four sections and research as well as discuss it.
We had to opportunity to work in groups of 2 or 3 but I chose to work individually becasue, in the end, the same amount of work would be have to done by each person. Also, it would be difficult to collaborate or co-ordinate when working in groups, especially if the website would not allow two people to change the contents at the same time.
We were shown a variety of ways in which we could create our websites and there were different programs we could use. From the ones that we were shown, Wix was the one that appealed to me the most so I decided to analyse for its efficiency. At this point, I would like to use Wix to create my webpage on multimedia because the brief tutorial that I watched made the creation of the site seem very easy so I was fairly impressed and the final product would also look very eye-catching. I intend to start learning more about my options and also hope to make a decision on the 4 topics I would like to do to create the content of my page.
