Interactive Multimedia Applications

ORAU Helps Our Clients Explore Innovative Delivery Alternatives through Interactive Media

With workers and the public becoming increasingly more media savvy, e-learning or computer-based training experiences that are visually appealing and interactive are immensely growing in popularity.

Well-versed in the latest technology, Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) is able to assist your organization with increasing audience reach and tailoring messages using interactive multimedia applications. Computer and Web-based learning tools offer a cost-effective and flexible alternative to traditional training and communication methods.

We explore innovative message delivery applications that are best suited to a client’s needs and resources. These applications include:

• Webcasts or streaming audio and video
• Web conferences
• Web-enabled databases
• Simulations and animations
• Multimedia CD-ROMs

Our team of e-learning experts walks you through a systematic, user-centered design methodology. These applications are a natural fit for distance learning, but can also be used in conjunction with face-to-face teaching as well.

Using a collaborative Web site and online-meeting capabilities, ORAU partners with you to explore design ideas and build content with an application that can be easily updated without a programmer. We also make it a priority that our applications are 508 compliant regarding requirements for disabled persons.

After in-depth discussions regarding potential users, as well as technical and Web server requirements, we provide you with:

• Wireframes/prototype systems
• Content review by subject matter experts
• Usability and accessibility testing
• Training resources and exercises (including computer-settings guide)
• 508 compliant products

In the event we are unable to provide the capability in-house, we will contract the service with subject matter or technology experts while still managing the project.
