| Interactive multimedia identifies a relatively new technology that integrates a variety of media (including video, sound, music, photographs, drawings, computer graphics, and animation) into a single electronic medium, and it provides the ability to link ideas in a nonlinear format. Increasingly, with the rapid advances in digital and computer technology, it is digital-based storage platforms (multimedia hardware systems) that are gaining attention for multimedia delivery. Compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM) and other digital-based platforms are evolving rapidly; these new technologies are enhancing the capabilities of multimedia.;The primary goal of this study is to provide CD-ROM and World Wide Web (WWW) based multimedia instructional tools for computer science students. They can be used by introductory level students to learn the basic fundamental concepts of programming with Java.;This research will also assess the multimedia took kit's value in aiding the student's ability to learn fundamental Computer Science concepts, and an assessment will be made of its merits on various facts, such as effective understanding of concepts, time of learning, etc. |
