| The Multimedia Messaging System, or MMS, is an application of multimedia which allows you to send and receive messages containing Multimedia - related content such as audio and video and also text. Today many cellphones have inbuilt MMS as a feature . An electronic multimedia encyclopedia can present information in better ways than traditional encyclopaedia, so the user has more fun and learns more quickly. For instance, an article on American history can include hyperlinks to articles on various presidents who had ruled the country ever since the independence. When users click on a hyperlink, they are redirected to a detailed article about that President. In addition, it can include a video on the speech of John. F. Kennedy. It can also present the information of the various turning points pertinent to the American history. Hyperlinks help user access information in a non-linear fashion as opposed to print materials which are essentially linear. This can speed-up learning and improve the user experience, when added to multiple elements such as pictures, photographs, audio and video. (It is also said that some people learn better by seeing than reading and some others by listening). |
