Abstract:

In order to have a truly effective educational multimedia application, the visual design has to be as pedagogically sound as the course itself. In this paper, we look at what became the foundation of knowledge and theory for the digital design and planning of the educational multimedia course “B2E Systems”. We discuss a collection of current research, theories and strategies for effective visual design of multimedia learning applications, that came together to mould the development of the B2E course, from concept to production. B2E is a Multimedia CD-ROM developed at the University of Sydney for E-commerce education. In the last section we discuss the teaching and learning rationale behind some of the key design decisions made during the development of the course.
