2. Educational Objects: Definition independent building blocks

3. Educational Objects: Visual Components

4. annotated photographs photo galleries interactive slideshows videos Interactive videos panoramas 3-D objects scenes

5. Educational Objects: Learning Components

6. QuickTime: A Suitable Multimedia Format necessary software –QuickTime player –QuickTime plug-in downloadable and free delivery mechanisms –Web –CD –PDF –PowerPoint

7. QuickTime: Movie Types time-based: images played sequentially Virtual Reality: viewer manipulated immersive spatial environment scenes: multimedia collections accessed via clickable hot spots

8. QuickTime: Time-based movies hold, display, edit & manipulate multimedia (>30 types) stored in tracks –nine types –any combination real worldviews or computer generated illustrate –temporal change –scale and scope

9. QuickTime: Virtual Reality mimics real space –panoramas (360 o views) –objects (3-D items viewable from any angle) computer generated or real items/places viewing sequence controlled by user convey sense of place and three dimensions

10. QuickTime: Scenes collection of multimedia common theme, e.g. national park, geologic process, event viewing sequence –controlled by hot spots –determined by user depict places or events

11. QuickTime Creation: Simple Movies Apple’s QuickTime Pro capabilities: –edit video, e.g. add, delete, move frames –compress video clip –add text and sound tracks simple learning curve Windows and Mac versions inexpensive (< $50)

12. QuickTime Creation: Complex Movies movies with: –complex tracks (3D, tween, sprite, MPEG, Flash) –user interactivity special software, LiveStage Pro 3.0 or 4.0 –expensive (~ $900) –steep learning curve –proprietary scripting language (Qscript) with time, can create virtually anything

13. QuickTime Creation: Virtual Reality special photographic equipment –panoramic heads –object turntables special software –QuickTime VR Authoring Studio –VR Worx –Stitcher 3.5

14. QuickTime Examples: Annotated Photograph
