eLearning Content Development Multimedia and Media Production 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the purpose of a storyboard in eLearning media production?
- To visually plan each screen's layout, narration, and interactions before development (Correct answer)
- To store completed course files
- To track learner quiz scores
- To configure SCORM settings in an LMS
Correct answer: To visually plan each screen's layout, narration, and interactions before development
A storyboard is a blueprint document that maps out each slide or screen with its visuals, on-screen text, narration script, and interaction details prior to development.
Question 2: What does 'bitrate' determine in eLearning video files?
- The amount of data processed per second, affecting quality and file size (Correct answer)
- The number of frames per second
- The video resolution in pixels
- The length of the video in minutes
Correct answer: The amount of data processed per second, affecting quality and file size
Bitrate (measured in kbps or Mbps) controls the amount of data encoded per second; higher bitrates produce better quality but larger files requiring more bandwidth.
Question 3: In eLearning animation, what does 'easing' refer to?
- The gradual acceleration or deceleration of animated elements for natural movement (Correct answer)
- Reducing the number of animation frames
- Compressing GIF file sizes
- Setting animation loop counts
Correct answer: The gradual acceleration or deceleration of animated elements for natural movement
Easing applies smooth acceleration/deceleration curves to animation timelines, making movements feel natural rather than robotic and linear.
Question 4: Which principle warns against using decorative visuals that don't support learning?
- Coherence principle (Correct answer)
- Multimedia principle
- Signaling principle
- Segmenting principle
Correct answer: Coherence principle
Mayer's coherence principle states that learning improves when unnecessary or decorative words, images, and sounds are excluded from eLearning.
Question 5: What is the recommended minimum font size for body text in eLearning slides for readability?
- 18pt (Correct answer)
- 8pt
- 12pt
- 30pt
Correct answer: 18pt
A minimum of 18pt for on-screen body text ensures readability across typical monitor sizes and for learners with mild visual impairments.
Question 6: Which color contrast ratio does WCAG 2.1 AA require for normal text in eLearning?
- 4.5:1 (Correct answer)
- 2:1
- 7:1
- 3:1
Correct answer: 4.5:1
WCAG 2.1 Level AA requires a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 between normal text and its background to ensure readability for users with low vision.
