ABSTRACT:

Developing sophisticated 3D content for teaching is time consuming and can be very expensive involving scientists and graphic designers. Integrating audio comments adds to this effort involving professional recording people and actors. Given the fact that there is a lot of very good multimedia content out there that was developed for pharmaceutical companies, among others, our approach was to focus on putting together a tutorial using material from an existing CD-ROM production by Hoechst-Marion-Roussel. First we asked about the permission to use the material for our intranet tutorial. Restricting the use of their proprietary material exclusively on our Intranet solved copyright concerns. We then extracted all media, movies, soundtracks and images,

 

cataloging and arranging them according to our own needs. The focus shifted from one specific pharmaceutical substance to demonstrating mechanisms of heart infarction and some of the treatment options. The result is a web based tutorial using many appealing 3D movies and professional audio comments that illustrate very complex concepts in a way that would not have been possible with our own media creating equipment and know-how.

 

 

BENEFIT TO PARTICIPANTS ATTENDING SESSION:

 

You learn how to develop sophisticated multimedia content,

including state-of-the-art visualization, movies, images etc. on a modest budget by repurposing commercial material. View, side by side, the off-line CD-ROM production we used and the resulting web-based tutorial. Various tools for media extraction, cataloging and development will also be discussed and demonstrated.
