Education is always the most top priority in our life in order to get a job, to be respected and not to be left behind. We have schools and many educational centers throughout our nation. But education do evolve, not the knowledge itself but the methodology of delivering the knowledge itself; through the use of creative multimedia.
Multimedia is an integration of multiple medias and that include texts, video, audio and graphics while creative is the originality of producing something and when we combine both terms, it will be creative multimedia which means the ability to produce something with the use of available medias such as graphics. Creative multimedia has many ways to affect education as such the students, with the help from their tutor or teacher will have to construct chemical chain molecules by using their own imagination upon a touchscreen with the help of graphics, audios and text or to create a storyline for a literature class by using animation. Indirectly, this method will invoke student creativeness and interest with the subjects thus making it more effective in the learning process. The previous learning and teaching method which involves chalk, book, and blackboard might feel boring for some student and the uninterested student might have such a huge potential in the subject. Perhaps the method is unsuitable for this kind of student. That might change with the influence of creative multimedia in the methodology of teaching and learning.
The teaching system in many school in Malaysia are based on the blackboard and the students have to copy what their teachers wrote on the blackboard. Moreover, most of the teacher teaching with spontaneous like speaking and students will or might listen to them. No doubt that the system somehow will be effective because the conveying method will contribute to some of the students understanding towards the lesson but is it really effective?
From my observation, there are several students always daydreaming, sleepy and doing their own stuff. Sometimes they do not focus to the lesson. When their teacher find out that they do not focus, the teacher may scold, giving punishment and so on. From this situation, is it right that the student has to be blamed? Generally, the student is guilty but has the teacher do not see how they convey the lesson to students.
The students might go through the thing that is attracts their attention like television, games and computers. It is all about media and technology or something creative where they show their interest, so if it will encourage them, why we have to let their interest down? The examination system in schools had also used the old method. When we are going to the examination hall, they will provide us with exam sheets, pencil or pen. Moreover, the lesson in school also said had used textbook and activity book. Sometimes the homework given is too much forsome students to handle. When we see the counseling system that have been introduced to students, most of them only meet the counselor and listen to what the counselor advised. This might not work for some students who choose not to listen or too ego to accept the advice.
Creative multimedia is having ability or power to create something. And multimedia refer to The combined use of media, such as television, radio, print, and the Internet, as for advertising or publicity. Nowadays , education world is different with before. Most of the school already used multimedia in their learning. With multimedia,student seems to be curious about the creation of production that involve images,video ,sound and more. This lesson is intended to capture the curiousity of students while they learn content that is meaningful and important to them living in this world nowadays. A variety of multimedia software are available which helps the teacher in their teaching process to be a creative teacher and to make their students being creative as well. With multimedia all those progress can be fast. Like using some software Adobe or internet as example to create new learning enviroment and it can avoid the student from being bored. Besides that,with multimedia students don't need to leave their homes or stop working in order to get a degree. They can take all of their classes over the Internet, as well as submit their assignments and exams over E-mail.
We can see the improvement in between before multimedia method is used as one of the medium in learning process and after multimedia method is been applied in education.Now we will talk about the advantages of Creative Multimedia in Education. The advantages that we can see after multimedia is applied in education are many. The first advantage of creative multimedia in education is, it helps a lot in the learning process. What does it helps? It improves the understanding of the student in certain subjects, for example like subject Mathematics and Science. Usage of Multimedia that has been applied in those subjects helps in understanding abstract mathematics and science concept. Multimedia enables us to provide a way by which learners can experience their subject in a vicarious manner. Nowadays, e-learning is the one example that we can see multimedia are been used as the method in learning process. Simulation of Science and Mathematics give an interactive way in learning those subjects. That shows that creative multimedia is effective method in education. Next, the advantages that we can see is the students get the benefits. Why? Because the student can work at own pace and control their learning path. So the student doesn't need to get stress when in learning process. Furthermore, the student will learn from an infinitely tutor that he or she does not need to scare or shy with. Creative multimedia also gives benefits to the teachers. It allows for the teacher to create a creative work such as make a presentation as a method to teach the students. The teacher also can save time for more challenging topic, so they will have more time to focus on the hardest part in learning process. So, both student and teacher also the education gets the advantages of the creative multimedia.
As a conclusion, we can say that, role of creative multimedia in education is very helpful. Help in terms of understanding of the student, the effectiveness of the learning process and also improve the education system. Hopefully the role of creative multimedia keeps growing in education system in order to have a better future in education.
