Introduction

UCTI- APIIT is an acknowledged higher education university college in

Malaysia specializing in the fields of technology. UCTI APIIT works close

with the IT industry corporations such as Sapura Groups Corporation1

Microsoft, Rational Rose, Prometric, EC_Council, eAct Technologies and

EPSON2, so that the latest updates regarding technology based information

corresponds with the syllabus of UCTI APIIT.

Multimedia in UCTI APIIT

Currently, there are several multimedia based programmes in UCTI APIIT.

In the undergraduate Study programme, there are Computer Games

Development & Web Media Technology Programmes and Media

Programmes3. In the postgraduate study, there is the Multimedia Application

Management programme4. As a leading university in the fields of technology,

UCTI APIIT could focus more in developing multimedia applications

systems that could benefit the university and the students both academically

and reputational wise. Acknowledged UCTI APIIT multimedia application

system such as the Bahasa Melayu Interactive Learning software and the

Interactive Sign Language Generator for the Malaysian federation of Deaf

system could be the foundation of multimedia based projects and hopefully be

the launching pad for more future multimedia projects.

Problem Statement

UCTI APIIT mostly open itself to any visitors who wish to come to the

campus and view the university themselves. Majority of these people areMalaysian locals who wish to know more, see and experience the UCTI

APIIT environment. Most of the time, these visitors would come during their

free time usually after working hours or during the weekends. This is because;

most of the visitors are working and cannot find any other free time to

personally go to UCTI APIIT during working hours.

Majority of the visitors coming to UCTI APIIIT are parents who wish to enroll

their children to UCTI APIIT. They would like to get more information about

UCTI APIIT and see the facilities that are provided here with their own eyes.

Usually they would come during the weekends, and a member of UCTI

APIIT staff will be allocated for them. The UCTI APIIT staff would personally

guide them throughout the UCTI APIIT building. This means that a UCTI

APIIT staff should always be on standby even on weekends to greet the

visitors as the visitors usually come at this time. This would be a problem for

the staff as they have to work even during their weekend vacations. The UCTI

APIIT management will also have to bear substantial employee overtime

working cost for these weekend staff thus adding up to unnecessary cash

outflow.

To inform the students regarding any class events or curricular activities, a

bulletin board is placed at the lobby, in front of the elevator of UCTI APIIT.

The reason it is placed here, is that information or notice is more accessible to

the UCTI APIIT students as the location of the board is situated in the centre

of students gathering area.

Although UCTI APIIT is known as one of the leading technology university in

Malaysia, it still uses bulletin boards the old fashion way; which is by sticking

notes on a big bulletin board found in the lobby. These notes are rarely

updated and usually in a messy condition after a few changes of note

postings. Furthermore, the university has to change the board every year due

to the deteriorating condition of the boards after usage.

Proposed Application Design

A virtual university guide and online notice board multimedia application

system is proposed to overcome the problems of having to manually guide

visitors and to reduce stick-on notices. The application will consist of a virtual

3-Dimensional outlook floor plan of the UCTI APIIT building facilities such as

classrooms, lecture halls, computer labs, administration office, library,

cafeteria, lecturer hall and even washrooms. Users can also post notes which

can be displayed at the main page of the application.

Objectives

1. The main function of the multimedia application enables a virtual

guide and gives visitors a visual outlook of UCTI APIIT

infrastructures and facilities using multimedia elements.

2. Visitors accessing the application can view brief information about

UCTI APIIT facilities.

3. The application can be used as a marketing tool to promote UCTI

APIIT to the public mainly prospect students and professionals and

can alsohelp promote UCTI- APIIT during conventions and higher

learning education fair by coming out with an advanced multimedia

product.

4. Visitors will be encourage to experience the technology of the

Multimedia system thus feel more comfortable to tour around the

university unguided by UCTI APIIT personnel.

5. Help the management staff of UCTI-APIIT by assisting them with

certain tasks such giving out notices and also announcements

which can be displayed on the multimedia application system.

6. Expose the current UCTI-APIIT students with new multimedia

technology. This will encourage them to be techno savvy and make

them more updated with current events.

Development Methodology:

System Methodology adopted

The system methodology that will be used in the production of the multimedia

kiosk is the Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement and Evaluate (ADDIE)

model. It will be further discussed in the content subtopic and will be based

on the multimedia project lifecycle and constraints.

Content Overview and Analysis

Project title: UCTI-APIIT Virtual Map and Digital Notice

Project: A multimedia application system which can be used by UCTI

APIIT visitor to access the map of the university building.

Concept: A multimedia application which is attractive, simple to use, with

minimal pages, direct and straight forward information yet has high depth of

content, and has a high level of interactivity.

Outlook: Professional, modern outlook, almost similar design with other

UCTI APIIT product such as the website and the programme booklets to

standardized the design, design using the mortised application philosophy

approach which incorporates high level of usability and eye catching

multimedia elements.

the building. A short movie introduction is included and will play in loops with

the system. This will include text base elements for the background

introduction and a short 2D animated video with sound for the intro movie.

Then it will be directed straight to the main page with menus.

Main Page

The main page consists of a 3-D floor plan of UCTI APIIT building with list of

rooms. Main page includes a button which opens a new window which can

be typed on for notices and memo.

Content media collection:

Included are the media contents that need to be collected for the multimedia

application.

the main lobby.

Text: - An introduction to UCTI-APIIT text information similar

to the website.

- The navigational links will be done using large size

textual icons for easier accessibility.

Justification of Using ADDIE Methodology

After planning, it was decided that this approach was much more suitable for

creating the multimedia application. It is suitable because, it aligns with the

procedures of the production pipeline which consists of three part; pre-

production, production, and post production. The evaluation aspect is

important and is included in every steps found in each of the three production

process.


10/15

Navigational Structure

Starts with a movie intro, then will be automatically directed to the main page

after 10 seconds idle. As also the main page will automatically be redirected

back to the intro movie after 10 seconds of idle time.

The interface of the main page will consists of 6 menu button with each has its

own set of sub menu. The menu button will be grouped according to the levels

of the UCTI APIIT building, from basement to top floor. If any menu is

opened and is idle for 10 seconds, the menu will be automatically redirected

back to the main page.

The sub menu will represent the facilities found in each of the levels in the

UCTI APIIT building.
