  1. Format of multimedia and hard-copy teaching materials Dr. Flavio Melcarne Coordinamento SIBA Ed. “Studium 2000” Via di Valesio 73100 – Lecce, Italy http://siba2.unile.it; siba@siba2.unile.it English version: George Metcalf

  2. List of contents • Types of file and relative formats: – text – images – audio – video • Configuration of the servers: – Eco-Governance site – e-learning portal – post-graduate qualification in Eco-Governance – audio/video streaming – members only area (upload)

  3. Text file formats: slides (.ppt) • Background: Eco-Governance Image • Character font, size and colour for the title: Verdana bold, 24 pt., white • Character font, size and colour for the body of the text: Verdana, 20 pt. – min. 18 pt., white • Character font, size and colour for notes (where applicable): Verdana, 14 pt., black • Single-concept slides • No animations • Max number of objects (graphics/formulae/tables/images) per slide: 2 • Slides per hour: 20-40

  4. Formats of image files for slides • GIF (Graphic Interchange Format): format suitable for images with a maximum of 256 colours (flat colours without shading), e.g. graphics, formulae, tables, icons. • JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): format suitable for images of photographic quality requiring thousands or millions of colours and shades. Limit the size of the images. Stick to a maximum of 640x480 pixels, respecting the proportions, with a maximum resolution of 72 pixels/inch

  5. Tex filter for the conversion of formulae to GIF Service activated by SIBA on the MOODLE platform of the E-Learning server

  6. Text file formats: documents (.pdf) documents (.rtf) images (.tiff) pre-defined model for paging documents document (.pdf)

  7. The frame on the left contains a list of the objects and functions of the InDesign software to be used when formatting a document

  8. Text file formats: documents (.rtf) • Character font, size and colour for the title: Arial, 14 pt., black • Character font, size and colour for the subheading: Times New Roman, 11 pt., black • Character font, size and colour for paragraph headings: Times New Roman, 12 pt., bold, black • Character font, size and colour for the body of the text: Times New Roman, 12 pt., black • Character font, size and colour for figure captions: Times New Roman, 10 pt., black • No macros • Objects (graphics/formulae/tables/images) must also be supplied separately as TIFF files

  9. Formats of image files per documents (.tif) TIFF (Tag Image File Format): is the most commonly used format in the field of printing because it entails no loss of data and is universally recognised. It is a flexible and reliable method for memorising bitmap images in black and white, grey scale, colour scale, RGB, CMYK. It can be saved with or without compression.

  10. Draft Title Sub-heading Body of the text Paragraph heading

  11. Audio file formats (.mp3) MP3 with a bitrate of 128Kb (MPEG-1/2 Audio Layer 3 with compression at 128 Kbit/s) is an audio compression algorithm to be able to drastically reduce the quantity of data required to reproduce a sound, while maintaining its fidelity to the non-compressed original. This technology makes it possible to reduce audio files to one twelfth of their original size. E.g., a file containing 5 minutes of stereo music (two channels, 16 bits, 44,100 MHz) can be reduced from 60 MB in the original to just 5 MB as an MP3 file, maintaining nearly the same quality as an audio CD.

  12. Video file formats • ANALOGICAL: –VHS/VHS-C –SVHS/SVHS-C –Video 8/Video 8 Hi –Betamax • DIGITAL: –DV/MiniDV –MicroMV –Digital 8 –DVD CAM –DVCPRO –DVCam –Digital-S –D-VHS WMF RM QT  MPEG4 (H264 100Kbit/s) coding and compression
