BSEB Inter Multimedia & Web Tech study plan

Define each core multimedia element (text, graphics, audio, video, animation) and give one concrete classroom example of each

Compare at least three authoring paradigms (time-based, page/card-based, icon/flow-based, web-based) and match each to a suitable project type

Identify the trade-offs of bitmap versus vector graphics by listing three situations where each is the better choice

Explain typography basics - type families, x-height, leading, kerning, tracking - and label them on a sample layout

Set up a study notebook with one page per domain and log the key terms from Domains 1 and 2

Walk through the stages of a multimedia production cycle (concept, script/storyboard, asset creation, integration, testing, delivery) in the correct order

List the hardware and software requirements for a basic authoring workstation and justify each item

Compute image file sizes from pixel dimensions and colour depth, and predict how compression changes the result

Produce a one-page storyboard for a short instructional sequence showing text, image, and audio cues

Compare common image formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, SVG) and state which to use for line art, photographs, transparency, and animation

Explain digital audio fundamentals - sampling rate, bit depth, channels, and file size calculation - and work through two numeric examples

Distinguish lossy from lossless audio compression and name a typical format for each with its common use

Describe the video pipeline: frame rate, resolution, aspect ratio, scanning, and codec/container separation

Compare streaming versus progressive download and identify which suits low-bandwidth delivery

Outline a basic recording and editing workflow, including noise reduction and level normalisation

Define the twelve animation principles in your own words and pick one multimedia example for five of them

Distinguish frame-by-frame, keyframe/tweened, and procedural animation, and state when each is appropriate

Explain frame rate, persistence of vision, and how timing affects perceived smoothness

Describe how onion skinning, layers, and symbol reuse speed up an animation workflow

Identify the main animation output formats and how each behaves on the web

Write a valid HTML page from scratch containing document structure, headings, paragraphs, lists, links, images, and a table

Apply semantic elements (header, nav, main, section, article, footer) and justify each choice

Build an external CSS stylesheet using selectors, the box model, and at least two layout techniques

Check a page for accessibility basics: alt text, label association, heading order, and colour contrast

Validate the page and fix every reported error

Explain the HTTP request/response cycle for a page load, including how linked CSS and images are fetched

Add a form with correct input types, labels, and client-side validation attributes

Write JavaScript that responds to events, reads form values, and updates the DOM

Describe the difference between client-side and server-side scripting and give one task suited to each

Apply responsive design with a media query and a flexible layout

Define IP addressing, DNS resolution, and the role of a web server in serving a site

Compare hosting options (shared, VPS, cloud, free static hosting) on cost, control, and suitability

List the steps to publish a site: domain registration, DNS records, upload via FTP/SFTP or Git, and testing

Explain HTTPS, certificates, and why they matter for forms and user trust

Identify common publishing failures (wrong document root, case-sensitive filenames, missing index file) and how to diagnose them

Assemble a small portfolio project that combines text, image, audio or video, and animation with a working web page

Apply ethical practice: use only licensed or original assets and record the source and licence for each

Write a project report covering concept, tools used, production stages, testing, and known limitations

Review weak areas from earlier weeks and redo the two most-missed practice sets

Complete one timed full-length mock covering all nine domains and score it by domain
