Worksheet time: 20mins
Which of these is not an advantage of creating detailed storyboards before beginning production?
constructing the project will be easier
less time is required in finishing the final product
getting to the production stage is faster
it is better suited to separate design and production teams
Which of these is not one of the listed types of organizational structures?
linear
hierarchical
nonlinear
recursive
The visual representation of a project that includes a table of contents as well as a chart of the logical flow of the interactive interface is often called:
a storyboard
a navigation map
a master layout
a workflow diagram
The method you provide to your viewers for navigating from one place to another in your project is part of the:
script
user interface
storyboard
depth structure
The generic term for any area of an image that can be clicked on is:
a hot spot
a storyboard
an image map
a rollover
An interface in which a user can click a button and change the approach of the whole interface is called:
a prototype
a navigation map
a modal interface
a site map
Having separate novice and expert interfaces for a multimedia program is generally not a good idea because:
it tends to take up too much disk space or bandwidth
novice users tend to get caught in the expert mode
only a minority of users are expert; most users are caught in between and are frustrated
most authoring systems are not capable of handling parallel structures
GUI stands for:
General/Universal/Individual
General Utilization Instructions
Global Usage Imaged
Graphical User Interface
The Macintosh and Windows GUIs are successful partly because:
they enable cross-platform file structure
their basic point-and-click style is simple, consistent, and quickly mastered
they are highly customizable, allowing programmers to use program-specific keyboard shortcuts
they tend to make the computer run more efficiently
Non information areas left intentionally free from visual clutter are often referred to as:
negative space
screen real estate
advanced organizers
white space
The standards that ensure that project files are given logical names and stored in folders with logical names are the:
usability guidelines
pattern-recognition algorithms
file-naming conventions
project tracking protocols
Perhaps the most significant problem with creating a multimedia program that gives users complete free reign is that:
such freedom is difficult to program
computers cannot yet process so many variables concurrently
too much freedom can be disconcerting to users
it is difficult to organize data into meaningful structures
Which of these is probably not a good step to take before starting the production process for a multimedia project?
Lock in the design so there are no further changes to delay production.
Establish limits on client review cycles to reduce cost overruns.
Establish clear file-naming and version control standards.
Check the state of your hardware and software to ensure reliability and capability, and integrate any upgrades.
An image on a web page can be sectioned in HTML into areas that are clickable links. This is called:
a site map
a rollover
a frameset
an image map
A series of graphics that outline the visual details of a multimedia project is called:
a storyboard
a pictogram
an icon
a composite
Which of the four navigational structures allows users to freely navigate through the content of the project, unbound by predetermined routes?

Linear
Nonlinear
Composite

A multimedia structure in which users navigate sequentially, from one frame or bite of information to another, could be called _______________.
Linear
Non-Linear
Hierarchical
Composite
A multimedia structure in which users navigate along the branches of a tree structure that is shaped by the natural logic of the content could be called _______________.
Linear
Non-Linear
Hierarchical
Composite
A multimedia structure in which users may navigate freely, but are occasionally constrained to linear presentations, could be called _______________.
Linear
Non-Linear
Hierarchical
