Supervolcano
Multimedia is changing the way an audience absorbs information. No longer are people limited to being simply a passenger along for the ride. Now with current multimedia capabilities, audiences can read text, view photographs and video and become interactive with simulations.
In BBC’s Supervolcano, which is devoted to informing the reader about the supervolcano residing under Yellowstone National Park, the audience can read information pertaining to the subject. One can navigate through a photo gallery showing glimpses of what the event might look like. In addition to the information about the volcano, one can play an interactive game that gives a time line of events where you must decide the best way to handle the disaster.
The entire site is more that just multimedia, it is an expansion on a learning tool. Now people do not have to rely on simply reading to find information. Now one can see and even experience the event to help learn the message that is trying to be presented.
