Learning outcomes
The course is a continuation of the course Interactive Multimedia I.
The methodology of analysis, design, implementation and evaluation of interactive media applications is developed, as well as the calculation of project completion time and costing so that all factors of the produced system are taken into account.
Issues related to the aesthetic and social dimensions of multimedia and more generally of multiple media are analyzed. A series of exercises promote the visual possibilities of designing interactive multimedia applications, in the form of a website, so as to highlight creativity, originality and functionality.
