Multimedia Presentations

Multimedia Presentations are more effective than ordinary presentations. A lecture, for example, is quite boring for somebody who uses his creative side of the brain. Facts and words are not that appealing to them, thus, the presentation will fail its purpose. Moreover, kids would also find it difficult to understand lectures because they are naturally susceptible to visual inputs. This is where multimedia presentation comes in.

Option to display words, pictures, and use sounds gives multimedia presentations an edge when it comes to putting your message across because it is better understood. Unlike lectures, words are subject to ambiguity and misinterpretation depending on the context it is used, if it is understood at all. Using pictures and sounds gives supports the message of the whole subject eliminating the risk of misinterpretation.





The multimedia presentation above is a perfect example of how words, pictures, and sounds combine together to form a very different learning experience. You will also notice redundancy which may or may not help depending on how you use it. But generally, redundancy keeps the message reinforced. Also you will notice that it was presented in a very personalized manner. The artist's visual style and color used give the presentation a personality, which is equivalent to the presenter's way of delivering the message. However, you presenters are not consistent with how they deliver. There are factors like self-esteem, motivation, and confidence that affects how the message is delivered. Unlike multimedia presentation, it is consistent in every way.

Although there are still disadvantages using multimedia presentations, the benefits still outweighs it. Given its consistency and ability to deliver message quite well, consider this as your first choice when presenting.
