The Future of Multimedia
After this week of study, I have been thinking deeply about the impact of technology on our modern learning styles.
In addition to this study material, I discovered some of the transformative effects of speech recognition technologies on modern learning styles.
Audiobook
In the past, the invention of audiobooks significantly boosted the education industry, making it easier for preschoolers to read as well. But audiobooks are still only a single direction of instruction from the book to the reader. The educational community has long sought audiobooks with two-way interaction capabilities. Advances in speech recognition have remedied this vision.
Evolution to Interactive Learning
The combination of speech recognition and AI deep learning can make the original one-way teaching into two-way interactive teaching. Speech recognition allows the user’s voice input to be quickly converted into text. AI technology can then process the text information and provide feedback to the user through the results.
For example, in the traditional teaching of foreign languages, the presence of a teacher is necessary because learners need a teacher to verify the correctness of language use. With language recognition technology, computers can replace the teacher to help learners to confirm, cause dramatically reducing the cost and increasing the ease of learning.
In the next few years, I think the combination of AI and various recognition technologies will continue to impact the education industry significantly. Such technologies can greatly reduce the difficulty of educational outreach and serve as a bridge between users and educational resources. Virtual reality and distance learning will also benefit from advances in AI and recognition technologies.

The multi-media object I try to update was my PowerPoint from my ENGR class. These changes are based on the new theories I learned in the edci course. I will list the differences between before and after the update later.
Based on the Redundancy Principle in Mayer’s Principles to Reduce Extraneous Load, I found that in the PowerPoint presentation on F1 Weekend Schedule , I used too much text that was too crowded, which resulted in a load on the reader.
I then chose to remove the large descriptions and rewrite them as Labelled Lists or Bullet Lists.
