• Avoid too much text on one slide.

• Maintain proper color contrast.

• Use headings and subheadings properly.

Sound (Audio) – Applications with Audacity

Audacity is used for recording voice, editing audio, removing background noise, and adding
sound effects.

Class Activity: Students record a 30-second introduction and apply noise reduction.

Images in Multimedia

Key concepts include resolution, image size, compression, and formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF).

Video – Applications with Windows Movie Maker
