Mobile Learning and Multimedia Educational Software play a key role in Educational Technologies. Their features have been identified and used to critically evaluate and trace them. One of the challenges faced by the developers of current Mobile Learning systems and Multimedia Educational Software is their assessment and traceability to meet users’ requirements. This work is based on a technique...

We introduce a new version of the pronunciation software program WinPitch LTL. This completely redesigned version is much more easier to use by the teacher and learner alike, and contains the regular function of prosodic real time display, variable speed playback, prosodic morphing, on screen teacher comment display, etc. New features include video capabilities (the program can process multimed...

This paper describes the design and development of a multimedia program that provides instruction in locating, evaluating and citing information in a university library. The paper also discusses the use of interactive multimedia for instruction. The program was developed by a collaborative team of instructional designers, content experts, and media consultants using Authorware. The program uses...

Their small size and ease of use makes Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) very attractive for inclusion as clients in mobile multimedia applications. Alas, the cost for integration of PDA in distributed multimedia systems is high, as the resource limitations on PDA require client adaptation, and as software development on PDA is comparatively expensive. We present PocketWeb, a tool facilitating...

In this paper we present a semantically interoperable software application, codenamed HyperGuide, for supporting the fruition of cultural heritage through proposition of context-aware multimedia content. Semantic languages have been used to achieve semantic interoperability for data and for some subsystems. The application was designed and developed at the CRIAI research lab in Portici (Naples)...

This paper describes our experience in using a multimedia project management and software engineering environment, Decision-based Hyper-multimedia CASE (DHC), to support the Low-Visibility Landing and Surface Operations (LVLASO) project at the NASA Langley Research Center. 1 The purpose of the LVLASO project is to allow pilots to land and taxi airplanes when visibility is impeded due to adverse...

This paper aims to present the background and development of a software tool to assist the development of complex multimedia systems. After introducing the importance of multimedia design, the paper describes the four common phases of multimedia methodologies (Conceptual design, Navigational design, Abstract Interface design and Implementation), and compares and contrasts a selection of multime...
