“…Many of these tools have been examined fairly extensively in previous work (Arndt & Katz 2010;Ilom 2008) and the key here is to identify issues relating to the software that have not been mentioned in previous research. This is driven by a context of use.…”

The research herein describes the investigation of usability of software and hardware tools for musicians. Through an ethnographic approach, the aim is to broaden the scope of investigation and measure the usability of tools for musicians in a real world setting. Six musicians are observed through the planning and preparation stages, rehearsals, performing and postperformance in order to better understand the tools that they use and how these tools could be improved. This work builds on previous investigations into more traditional production environments. This investigation also explores how requirements and tools have changed. The research highlights main areas of usability problems in navigation, clarity of expression, problems in understanding flow and a mismatch between requirements and software tools that currently exist. The results highlight strengths in the flexibility of such systems and identify where they solve traditional, hardware based problems. The paper culminates in a discussion regarding the values, strengths and weaknesses of hard and soft tools and points to potential future directions of research.

“…Multimedia is a good communication tools education society with its own characteristics [3]. Multimedia authoring tools were originally developed more than 20 years ago to help non-programmers develop multimedia presentation, especially in the area of education [8]. According [9], multimedia technology can involve the computer presentation of multiple media format (e.g., text, pictures, sounds, video, etc.,).…”

The increasing number of people with hearing-impaired in Malaysia attracts to produce a variety of technologies, which can assist the deaf people in carrying out their tasks in everyday life as normal people. New technology can help to decrease the difficulty that hearing-impaired people faces in daily life to use the information services like normal people. Thus, this paper focuses on: i) developing a new multimedia courseware for preschool students with hearing problem, and ii) comparing the deaf student's learning performance before and after using the courseware. Four modules were developed for e-MSL courseware consist of alphabets, numbers, words and quizzes with colorful text, animation, sounds, video and pictures using Malaysian Sign Language (MSL). Sekolah Rendah Pendidikan Khas (SRPK) Indera Mahkota II, Kuantan has been chosen as the case study for data collection and for investigating the student learning performance on the courseware. The survey results show that 100% of the respondents have agreed that using e-MSL courseware managed to reduce the student learning time more than 80%. The result has indicated that students have shown better learning performance using e-MSL compared to traditional learning.

“…Broadly speaking content management refers to the process of collecting, managing and publishing the content, while content management tools facilitate the tasks by providing automatic features [1]. Content authoring as opposed, is mostly related with the content design, creation and presentation, while authoring tools aim to facilitate these tasks for content authors that lack advanced skills such as programming skills [2]. Different type of digital content can be managed and authored, such as documents, images, multimedia clips, etc.…”

Abstract-With the proliferation of mobile devices, multimedia streaming over wireless networks has increased in popularity. To overcome a number of challenges as well as to enhance mobile users' experience, much research effort has been placed into multimedia content adaptation and personalisation. Supporting adaptive multimedia can pose itself a number of challenges, especially when considering the fast growing rate at which multimedia content is being produced. This paper explores the idea of automatic multimedia content management and authoring to support adaptive multimedia delivery to mobile devices. A multimedia content management tool (MediaMTool) is presented which automatically creates multiple versions of the multimedia clips based on a set of specified multimedia clip features. For testing purposes, MediaMTool was used in conjunction with EcoLearn, a m-learning system that adapts the quality of the educational multimedia clips in order to save battery power on the learner mobile device.Index Terms-multimedia content management, multimedia adaptation, mobile devices, battery power save.
