Multimedia Project Research

Project Research 

For my Multimedia Project I will be working with Nicole Goodman, Eva Garrett, Robyn Mulhall, Nhu Thai, Emma Byrne and Marcin Grabicki.

We plan on making an E-learning game for ages 4-6. It will be a fun way to learn. You will pick the subject, they will be English, Maths, Science etc. Due to the young demographic our game is aimed at it will need to be very visual, because lots of the kids are just starting to learn how to read and write.

When I think of E-Learning I think of Leap Frog. Nowadays leap frog are tablets with loads of games to play. It used to be a book that you would put into an interactive notepad and I used to love it. I hope we can make learning as fun as it was on Leap Pad.

When researching E-Learning I came across a website about Gamification. Our game would be structural gamification, this means we add elements of a game into learning although there shouldn't be a clear middle and end which we will have.


In school we used to use a website called study stacks. You would write out all your notes and then it would make them into fun well known games like snakes, hangman etc. You would learn your notes by playing.

This week our meeting with Shaun went well. For Thursday we will have our full functioning game. This week I've been watching videos on Animate CC just to get to grips on how the software works and how to use it. Video for simple animation Only half of this video was actually needed as the designs for the game have already been done. I started to watch a video where the game was made using html5 and java script which I thought could be cool because we already have some knowledge on HTML and JavaScript but as we are making a game for an iPad theres was no point in continuing his tutorials. Plus his voice was hard to follow and he wasn't the best at explaining what he was doing or why.                                        I am currently behind this week so I will be very busy on the game in the next two days to get it finished for Thursday.

This week Nhu Thai and I met up on Wednesday and discussed what we need to do and how we would evenly share out the work. We decided that Nhu would do the Main Menu, the setting page, level page and level 1 and I will be doing levels 2-6. We explored colours for the main menu page using adobe colour. We decided on yellow, blue, red and brown. We wanted use bright colours to engage the users attention. Nhu and I weren't sure how to share our files between Animate CC. We decided to try just sending the file to one another and copy and pasting it into one of the projects. That worked so we we were delighted to know we could easily transfer files. We were given the illustrations this week and are working on implementing them into the levels. We also looked at fonts. We wanted something fun and childlike but it still needs to be readable. After looking through fontspace we decided to go with KidZone and SchoolBell. KidZone was used for the heading and SchoolBell was used fo...

Week 8 Reading and Writing

Reading and Writing Review I find the reading assignments a bit long winded sometimes and I tend to lose focus the longer I'm reading it unless it's a topic I find interesting. I enjoyed the first few reading we did on growth mindset and time strategies, probably because they were new concepts to me and they were things that I could apply to my everyday life.  I do like learning about the game ones but I find them very long and I tend to zone out on what I'm reading. Some of the writing keeps me more captivated than others. I have learnt from the readings about games and I do think of them when I play games now and what makes a game "fun". I don't really feel like I've learnt anything new form the readings about Games since the first few, I think they've all been pretty similar so I tend to zone out from them. I used to read everything and then write my blog but I found that I forgot a lot of what I read so I started to write notes...
