Rich Media

The Flood got in my way of coming to class but I did the research and found this interesting example for Rich media and its definition:

“The defining characteristic of rich media is that it exhibits dynamic motion. This motion may occur over time or in direct response to user interaction.
Two examples of dynamic motion that occur over time are a streaming video newscast and a stock "ticker" that continually updates itself. An example of dynamic motion in response to user interaction is a prerecorded webcast coupled with a synchronized slide show that allows user control. Another is an animated, interactive presentation file embedded in a web page. “
Rich media elements are used in a variety of education areas ranging from distance learning to web-based teaching and instructional tools.
