Мультимедийные средства

(Multimedia)

 

1. Соотнесите заголовки (a—г) c соответствующими абза

цами в тексте .

а) The Рistory of Multimedia

б) Education and Entertainment

в) What is Multimedia?

г) Business and Industry

1. Multimedia is any computer application that integrates texts,

graphics, animation, video, audio and other methods of

communication. Multimedia is different from television, books

or cassettes because it lets you interact with the application. You

can click on a word to make a picture appear, or click on a picture

to start a video.

2. Multimedia became more popular after the mid 1990s when

the price of hardware began to fall. Then people started using it

in industry, business, education, entertainment and for other

purposes. Today, we can find multimedia at home, in school, at

work, in public places, such as libraries, and on the Internet.

3. In business, advertisers use virtual reality in multimedia applica

tions to advertise their products in three dimensions (3 D). Us

ing multimedia for graphs and tables is now the best way for

managers to present company results. In industry, pilots learn

 

72

 

 

to fly using multimedia simulations of real situations, and scien

tists simulate experiments with dangerous chemicals in safety.

Publishers are also producing interactive magazines, called

e zines, and e books online.

4. In education, students study interactive CD ROMs at their own

speed and explore topics creatively by clicking on related links.

Teenagers have played computer games for years, but many

multimedia applications combine education and entertainment

and they let them visit virtual worlds or change the ending of

films.

Типы ошибок

(Types of Error)

 

1. Прочитайте текст и ответьте на следующие вопросы:

1. What types of error are mentioned in the text?

2. What are the ways to avoid or deal with errors?

 

73

 

 

System errors affect the computer on its peripherals. For

example, you might have written a program, which needs access to a

printer. If there is no printer present when you run the program, the

computer will produce a system error message. Sometimes a system

error makes the computer stop working altogether and you will have

to restart the computer. A sensible way of avoiding system errors is

to write code to check that peripherals are present before any data

is sent into it. Then the computer would warn you by a simple

message on the screen, like “printer is not ready or available”.

Syntax errors are mistakes in the programming language (like

typing PRNIT instead of PRINT). Syntax errors cause the program

to fail. Some translator programs won’t accept any line that has syntax

errors. Some only report a syntax error when they run the program.

Some languages contain special commands such as debug, which will

report structural errors in a program. The programming manual for

the particular language you’re using will give details of what each

error message means.

Mistakes that are much more difficult to detect than syntax

errors are called logic errors. This is because a program containing

logic errors will run, but it won’t work properly. For example, you

might write a program to clear the screen and then print “hello”. Here

is a code for this:

10//message 30 CLS

20 PRINT ’Hello’ 40 END

This code has a logic error in it, but the syntax is right so it will

run. You can get rid of logic errors from simple programs by “hand

testing” them or doing a “dry run” which means working through

each line of the program on paper to make sure it does what you

want it to do. You should do this long before you type the code.

 

2. Составьте реферат текста.

Реферировать — to summarize

Реферат — summary

Реферат — это сжатое изложение текста с основными фактами и вы

водами. Рефераты по одному источнику называются монографически

ми, а по нескольким источникам на одну тему — обзорными.

Для реферата характерна самостоятельная форма, которая отличается

стройной последовательностью изложения и постоянством структуры.

В реферате отражается только основная информация, заключенная

в тексте. Для того чтобы правильно составить реферат, нужно ознако

миться с содержанием текста и определить значения незнакомых слов,

мешающих пониманию текста, по контексту или по словарю. Затем не

обходимо определить степень важности материала. Наиболее важная

информация требует точного отражения в реферате, второстепенная ин

формация передается в сокращенном виде, а малозначимая информа

ция опускается. Наконец, языковой материал обрабатывается и излага

ется в реферате. Для реферата характерны некоторые устойчивые

выражения — речевые клише:

SCOPE OF THE EVENT

 

n

 

Objectives

The 6th International Conference on New Educational

Environments (ICNEE) emphasizes on the concept of blended

learning. The main focus lies on the exchange of:

— Experiences through lively presentations of blended

learning courses, best practice and lessons learned.

— Results in pertinent research and project know how.

— Strategies of implementation and realization of new teaching

and learning methods in an institution or a company.

— Knowledge based on experiences of support and production

centers for media didactics, which foster the sustainable

implementation of new and innovative teaching methods in

their respective institution through assisting and consulting

 

76

 

 

the teachers and the school board in the field of education

and school development.

— Concepts in application of blended learning within

the scope of the Bologna — Declaration, which promotes

the modularization of courses, the self study and the re

quirement to offer courses in collaboration with partners

and institutions.

 

n

 

Concept

In order to achieve our objectives we provide platforms of

presentation, discussion and contact for researchers, educational

scientists and managers.

There will be the traditional paper presentations, poster sessions

and tool demonstrations but we also encourage new forms of

communication such as open space, workshops and discussions.

Especially welcome are examples of successful training units for

practical demonstration.
