Question 1 Report

A charity creates a web page that includes multimedia content.

(a) Identify three types of multimedia content that could be included on the web page. [3]

(b) Give one advantage and one disadvantage of including multimedia on a web page. [2]

(c) State one way the charity can ensure the multimedia content does not prevent disabled users from accessing the information. [1]

Answer Details

(a) Three types of multimedia content for the charity's web page:

  1. Video, such as footage showing the charity's work in action, testimonials from beneficiaries or a promotional appeal. [1]
  2. Audio, such as an interview with a volunteer, a podcast episode about the charity's mission or a recorded speech from a fundraising event. [1]
  3. Animation, such as an animated infographic that visually explains the charity's impact using moving graphics and statistics. [1]

(b)

  • Advantage: Multimedia makes the page more engaging and emotionally impactful, helping to communicate the charity's message more effectively than text and static images alone. [1]
  • Disadvantage: Multimedia files (especially video) are large and increase page loading times, which may deter visitors with slow internet connections from staying on the site. [1]

(c) To ensure disabled users can access the information, the charity should provide text-based alternatives such as captions (subtitles) for video content and written transcripts for audio content. [1] This allows users who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who use screen readers, to access the same information.
