ABSTRACT

This paper describes the use of a multimedia taxonomy in developing and in evaluating interactive multimedia products. The taxonomy identifies three axis, one describing the various formats of media: text, sound, image and motion; one describing the form of the media: elaboration, representation and abstract; and a third describing the context for the product: quality, interactivity, discipline area, audience, usability and aesthetics. Designers can use the taxonomy to brainstorm presentation and combination of media. Evaluators can use the taxonomy to insure that all paths and concerns are reviewed, using any review guidelines familiar to the evaluator.
