Week 12: Distribution of Multimedia Courseware

::27112012::
 
Form my understanding; this topic is about how the application will be distributed. It supposed to be thought during the development progress..

According to En Juhazreen, there are 2 things:

i)                    Technology and Method
ii)                   Marketing Strategy
Sufficiency and efficiency (cukup dan cekap) factor must be considered for multimedia distribution.

1)      Multimedia courseware distribution needs high capacity storage media. For example:

• magneto-optical disks (CDROM / DVD / BluRay)
• Flash storage
• Networks

2)      Advantages:

• Boleh dibawa kemana-mana
• Murah
• Boleh di duplicate
• Boleh diletak security
• Storage yang besar (BluRay)

3)      Disadvantages:

Network- Need internet connection

***En Juhazren also shared about new technology; cloud computing (same like network). According to the article that he read, flash drive will pupus during 2013-2015. It is because people will save their things on the cloud/network
