Multimedia courseware for rapid prototyping

Abstract

RP technology also known as Additive Manufacturing (AM) is becoming increasingly important and complex today. Therefore, it is essential that this knowledge can be taught and learnt by interested parties with ease. Multimedia teaching tools have been heavily employed in recent years as they are advantageous in many aspects.

This project aims to design and implement a new type of multimedia learning tool on RP technology by revaluating the existing multimedia teaching courseware. In this project, expansion to other multimedia teaching tools has been explored. A multimedia flash game based on RP technology is the main focus of the project. Besides that, voice narration for the CD-ROM content has been implemented as a significant improvement to the project. The voice narration element provides alternative information output besides the conventional text display.

The result of the project encompasses the fundamental framework of the proposed game with playable levels and mini games. The game also provides a simple user navigational interface to facilitate the integration between providing technical information on RP technology and fun elements. Besides that, voice narration for the CD-ROM content has been explored and implemented on a segment of text from the CD-ROM content.
