Unit R005: Creating an interactive product using multimedia components
Aims

This unit builds on Units R001 and R002 and learners will be able to apply the skills, knowledge and understanding developed in those units and vice versa.
This unit will enable learners to demonstrate their creative flair by combining multimedia components to create a vibrant, energetic or stimulating www, webpage, or interactive product.
Interactive products are used widely in everyday life; from visiting a website, ordering online products, using mobile phone applications, viewing a presentation, e-learning products or playing computer games. On completion of this unit learners will be able to show how the interactive product meets both the user needs and extends their capability within the use of applications software such as website development. Learning Outcome 1: Be able to design interactive products
Learners must be taught how to:
•

select and use the software features appropriate to the interactive products to aid in the design process,
i.e. website, tablet/mobile phone apps, gaming platforms, presentation software

•

identify success criteria, i.e. meeting the client brief, component quality, composition and the extent to which the product is interactive

•

select and use different forms of navigation site planning techniques, i.e. mood boards, spider diagrams, mind mapping, site plans, house-style, hand-drawn templates

•

source and store multimedia components for inclusion in products and how to make ready where applicable, i.e. source components images, video, sound, animation, scripting, sprites. Storage will necessitate the use of different file types1, i.e. swf, html, sis, app, exe, xaml, xml, ppt

•

understand the implications of legislation on their sources, i.e. Copyright Law; Intellectual Property;
