Multimedia on the Web
EDC 601Instructional Technologies We will look at the Web in three ways: We will look at the Web in three ways: • Accessing multimedia on the Web • Accessing the Web from PowerPoint • Accessing PowerPoint from the Web In all cases we need to consider the connection speed.
EDC 601Instructional Technologies Connection Speeds • POTS • ISDN/DSL/Cell • Satellite • Cable • LAN
EDC 601Instructional Technologies Downloaded Media Accessing from the Web
EDC 601Instructional Technologies Textual Media As we have already seen, you can use an HTML editor or text editor and just add the text. This is analogous to entering text in a word processor.
EDC 601Instructional Technologies Graphical Media Note 1: as their extension implies, animated gifs are treated as graphics files – not video files! As we have seen, placing graphics in a Web page is different. Graphics are NOT embedded within the page, instead they are linked from the Web page. You can use an HTML editor to generate the necessary code, or use a text editor to write the code. Note 2: unlike PPT where graphics are embedded in a slide, graphics are always linked in a Web page!
EDC 601Instructional Technologies Audio Media As with graphics, audio files are linked – not embedded. Generally, it requires a text editor to create the code, and then it may or may not work!
EDC 601Instructional Technologies Coding <EMBED SRC=“file_location” options> where some options are: autostart=true/false loop=true/false volume= ??% height= ?? width= ?? Unfortunately, it is not a simple as it appears!!! As we will see, the results depend on both the browser and the plug-ins/helpers that are installed on the client computers.
EDC 601Instructional Technologies <embed SRC="allison.mid" autostart=true loop=true hidden=true> IE
EDC 601Instructional Technologies <embed SRC="allison.mid" autostart=true loop=false height=15 width=100> IE
EDC 601Instructional Technologies <embed SRC="shutdown.wav" autostart=true loop=false hidden=false> IE
EDC 601Instructional Technologies Video/Animation Media Just as graphics and audio files are linked, so are video/animation files. Generally, a text editor is needed to create the code, and then it may or may not work!
EDC 601Instructional Technologies <embed SRC="blowup.avi" autostart=true height=375 width=246 loop=false> IE
EDC 601Instructional Technologies Video/Animation Media To the best of my knowledge, a Shockwave file (.swf) will always play in a Web page. IE Remember, that Camtasia Producer allows us to save a video file as a .swf file, and it generates the necessary HTML code to play it.
EDC 601Instructional Technologies Video/Animation Media Sometimes, FrontPage can be used to create a link to a video/animation file, so let’s see how.
EDC 601Instructional Technologies Video/Animation Media The Shockwave player is built in to IE 6.0 or the player can be downloaded from Macromedia’s Web site.
EDC 601Instructional Technologies Video/Animation Media Shockwave videos/animations can be interactive. (Remember that was a criterion in one of the multimedia definitions.)
EDC 601Instructional Technologies Accessing Streamed Media from the Web
EDC 601Instructional Technologies We have already discussed streaming media, so let's look at examples from the Web... www.abcnews.go.com www.pbs.org/newshour/video/index.html
EDC 601Instructional Technologies Accessing the Web from PowerPoint
EDC 601Instructional Technologies You can create a hyperlink using : text, an action button, CIS 601 or a graphic.
EDC 601Instructional Technologies Accessing PowerPoint from the Web
EDC 601Instructional Technologies Since PowerPoint presentations are files, they are linked from the Web page. You can use an HTML editor to generate the necessary code, or use a text editor to write the code. Once again, we will look at a FrontPage example. Let’s look at the difference between linking directly to a PPT slide show and using the Save as Web Page options.
EDC 601Instructional Technologies xxx.xls C:\My Documents\MyHTML.htm You can use Office97/98’s converters to "Save as HTML"and create Web "documents". Excel:
EDC 601Instructional Technologies yyy.mdb You can use Office97/98’s converters to “Export"and create Web "documents". Access: Web page for each table, query, form, and report selected
EDC 601Instructional Technologies One Web page for each printed page of the report.
EDC 601Instructional Technologies zzz.ppt You can use Office97/98’s converters to "Save as HTML"and create Web "documents". PowerPoint: subdirectory: zzz containing: 3x+15 files There is a seven step wizard to guide you through the process of customizing and creating these files.
EDC 601Instructional Technologies 3*49+15=162
EDC 601Instructional Technologies www.doc www.mht www.doc www.htm + www_files Folder You can use Office2000/XP/2003’s converters to "Save as Web page"and create Web "documents". Word:
EDC 601Instructional Technologies www.doc www.mht www.doc www.htm + www_files Folder Using Office2007 to convert to a Web page is slightly different and has three Save As Web page options. Word: The default file type for Office2007 is now .docx, but you can still work with .doc files.
EDC 601Instructional Technologies According to Microsoft, “This feature is only recommended for experienced Web authors who are concerned about the tags that appear in their HTML files.”
EDC 601Instructional Technologies xxx.xls xxx.mht xxx.xls xxx.htm + xxx_files Folder You can use Office2000/XP/2003’s converters to "Save as Web page"and create Web "documents". Excel:
EDC 601Instructional Technologies xxx.xls xxx.mht xxx.xls xxx.htm + xxx_files Folder Using Office2007 to convert to a Web page has the same two Save As Web page options. Excel: The default file type for Office2007 is now .xlsx, but you can still work with .xls files.
EDC 601Instructional Technologies yyy.mdb You can use Office2000/XP/2003’s converters to “Export"and create Web "documents". Access: Web page for each table, query, form, and report selected The Web pages are identical to those already shown for Access 97.
EDC 601Instructional Technologies yyy.mdb Office2007 does NOT allow you to create Web “documents ”. You can “publish” them to a Microsoft SharePoint Services site, which Buffalo State does NOT have! Access: The default file type for Office2007 is now .accdb, but you can still work with .mdb files.
EDC 601Instructional Technologies zzz.ppt zzz.mht zzz.ppt zzz.htm + zzz_files Folder You can use Office2000/XP/2003’s converters to "Save as Web page"and create Web "documents". PowerPoint:
EDC 601Instructional Technologies You have several Web publishing options.
EDC 601Instructional Technologies TOC Note: the original file zzz.ppt is 7,016 KB, zzz.mht is a single 12,446 KB file, and zzz.htm is a small file 3 KB that points to the remaining files in the zzz_files folder, which has 619 files and is 9,030 KB.
