8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Multimedia Fundamentals and Authoring
Define the five core multimedia element types (text, graphics, audio, video, animation) and classify ten given examples by element type and delivery mode (linear vs non-linear).
Compare lossless and lossy compression and match common codecs and container formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, MP3, AAC, MP4, WebM) to their typical use cases.
Explain the authoring cycle: analysis, design/storyboard, asset production, integration, testing, and distribution, and list two risks at each stage.
Identify hardware and software requirements for a small authoring setup and describe the role of hypermedia and hypertext links in interactive titles.
Your checkpoint
A one-page multimedia project brief for a 2-minute interactive title, including a storyboard of at least 6 frames and a format-choice table for every asset.
Multimedia Fundamentals and Authoring & Graphics, Image Editing and Digital Animation
Distinguish raster and vector graphics and choose the correct type for logos, photographs, icons, and diagrams with a stated reason for each.
Compute image file size from pixel dimensions, bit depth, and compression ratio, and solve at least five numerical problems.
Explain resolution, DPI/PPI, aspect ratio, and colour models (RGB, CMYK, indexed colour) and convert a design between screen and print settings.
Describe the main tools in an image editor (selection, layers, masks, clone/heal, adjustment layers) and the workflow for a simple retouch.
Your checkpoint
A 150-word comparison sheet plus five worked file-size calculations, with a corrected and an uncorrected version of one image demonstrating a stated retouch workflow.
Graphics, Image Editing and Digital Animation
Explain frame rate, keyframes, tweening, onion skinning, and the difference between frame-by-frame and vector tweened animation.
Compare GIF, animated PNG, CSS animation, SVG animation, and video-based animation for weight, browser support, and accessibility.
Plan a 10-second animation with a timing chart that names easing, holds, and loop points.
Apply the twelve principles of animation at a basic level, naming at least four and showing where each appears in your plan.
Your checkpoint
A 10-second looping animation (or frame-by-frame storyboard of 20+ frames) with a timing chart and a 100-word note justifying the chosen output format.
Audio and Video Production
Describe the audio production chain: capture, gain staging, editing, noise reduction, mixing, and export, and state one common mistake at each step.
Explain sample rate, bit depth, mono vs stereo, and loudness, and calculate the uncompressed size of a 3-minute 44.1 kHz 16-bit stereo recording.
Outline a video workflow from script and shot list through capture, rough cut, colour and audio correction, titles, and export presets.
Match delivery settings (resolution, frame rate, bitrate, container) to web, classroom projection, and mobile viewing.
Your checkpoint
A 60-second edited audio or video piece (or a full production plan with shot list, edit decision list, and export settings) with a settings table explaining every parameter chosen.
Web Technology Fundamentals and Internet Concepts & HTML and Web Page Design
Explain how DNS resolution, HTTP/HTTPS requests, IP addressing, and client-server exchange deliver a web page, tracing one URL end to end.
Distinguish internet, intranet, and extranet, and describe the roles of browsers, web servers, URLs, and search engines.
Write valid HTML5 that uses headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, links, images with alt text, and semantic elements (header, nav, main, section, footer).
Build an accessible form with labels, input types, required fields, and a fieldset, and validate the markup with a validator.
Your checkpoint
A three-page linked website on a chosen topic using semantic HTML5 and one working form, passing W3C validation with zero errors.
HTML and Web Page Design & CSS and Page Styling
Apply CSS selectors, the box model, and specificity rules to predict which declaration wins in at least eight cascade scenarios.
Lay out a page with Flexbox and a simple Grid, and explain when each is the better choice.
Style typography, colour, spacing, and links, and make the layout responsive with media queries and relative units.
Separate structure from presentation by moving all inline styling into an external stylesheet and verifying the result in a browser's developer tools.
Your checkpoint
The week-5 site restyled with an external stylesheet, a Flexbox or Grid layout, and at least two breakpoints, with before/after screenshots or a written layout description.
Client-Side Scripting (JavaScript) & Web Hosting, Publishing and Security Basics
Declare variables, write functions, use conditionals and loops, and manipulate arrays and objects to solve five small exercises.
Select and modify DOM elements, handle click and submit events, and validate a form on the client side with clear error messages.
Explain client-side vs server-side processing and why client validation never replaces server validation.
Describe domain registration, shared vs dedicated hosting, FTP/SFTP upload, and the difference between HTTP and HTTPS; list three common web security risks and one mitigation each.
Your checkpoint
A working JavaScript-enhanced page with form validation and one interactive element, plus a one-page hosting and security checklist covering domain, upload method, HTTPS, and passwords.
Practical Work, Project and Viva & Multimedia Fundamentals and Authoring & Web Technology Fundamentals and Internet Concepts
Assemble the practical project combining multimedia assets, HTML/CSS, and JavaScript into one coherent published site.
Rehearse a viva by explaining design decisions, tools used, and two problems solved, in under five minutes.
Review weak areas from weeks 1-7 using a self-made question set and re-attempt missed numerical problems.
Publish the project to a host (or document a local deployment) and verify every link, asset path, and form behaviour.
Your checkpoint
A published or locally deployed final project with source files, a 300-word project report, and a rehearsed viva script answering likely examiner questions.
Milestones
Week 2: You can classify any given asset by element type and format, and correctly solve image file-size calculations without notes.
Week 4: You have produced at least one finished audio or video artefact (or a complete production plan) and can justify every export setting.
Week 6: Your three-page site validates with zero HTML errors, uses an external stylesheet with Flexbox or Grid, and works at two screen widths.
Week 8: The final project is deployed or locally runnable, all links and forms work, and you can deliver the viva explanation in under five minutes without reading.
