Multimedia innovation and development at the University of Melbourne focuses on integrating 'digital revolution' technology into enhanced and highly effective ways of teaching, learning, research and communication.
Melbourne's approach is broad-ranging and industry-oriented, attracting substantial internal funding as well as major external sponsorships, collaboration and support from the private sector and government.
Multimedia research of strategic and commercial significance at Melbourne covers areas such as interactive course delivery, multimedia simulation and animation, and database analysis linked to online question and answer exercises with rapid feedback to students and staff.
Among particularly innovative outcomes is a Virtual Patient which gives medical students a simulated 'subject' on which to practise interviews and examinations.
Research areas of special interest include the evaluation of educational multimedia and online interactive course delivery; the impact of multimedia interactivity and goals on learning; software for informal reasoning; the effect on perception and judgement of distortions in graphs showing investment data; electronic commerce and e-business strategies and implementation; Intranets; virtual organisations; website effectiveness, and online metadata maintenance.
