R087 - Creating interactive multimedia products

Learning Objective 3: Making

LO3 is worth 21 marks. You need to:

source and create the assets needed to make your IMMP - the Copyright Free Images and Copyright Free Audio and Video pages may be useful
re-purpose (change) assets to use
prepare the structure of the IMMP
create the navigation system for the IMMP
add content to your IMMP
export your final IMMP in a suitable format
complete your test plan to show how well your IMMP works

You also need to:

submit evidence of using file names and version control

A copy of the markgrid for this LO is at the bottom of this page.

Gathering Assets

It's important to use high quality assets and to try to make sure they are copyright free if possible. There are lots of places you could get these from on my Copyright Free Images and Copyright Free Audio and Video pages.

You need to record where you source your assets from and how you edit them. You can use the exam board template below to do this.

You will need to use screenshots to evidence a lot of the work for this LO.

Creating the IMMP

You need to use tools and techniques to create the final graphic.

What skills should I use?

Anything that makes your product more interactive is good. You could take a look at:

IMMP PowerPoint skills - the sorts of skills you might use to build something interactive

Kiosk mode - how to lock a PowerPoint down to "kiosk mode". This forces the user to use buttons and not just mash the spacebar

Using maps - how to get a decent map from the internet and avoid the annoying placemarks all over it

It's important to evidence what you do. Screenshots, with some writing to go with them, are probably the best way to do this.

You also need to evidence your use of version control, filenames and folders. If you don't provide evidence of this you can't get any credit for the bottom part of the markgrid.

Templates

You can use these templates.

Assets table

This is a template produced by OCR which you are allowed to use. I'm providing it here because it's easier to do that than put it somewhere else. I'm not claiming it's mine and haven't changed it in any way (not even to make the header rows work properly...)

You'll need to use screenshots to evidence your work in this LO.

Note: this markgrid image is a copy of the one included in the sample assessment briefs produced by OCR in 2019. These are available freely on the OCR iMedia webpages. It is copyright OCR and reproduced here to make access easier for students. No attempt to claim copyright is being made. I asked the chief moderator at a meeting in July 2018 if it was OK to put it on the web and he said it was...
