Online Graphics and Multimedia Degrees

Online Computer Graphics & Multimedia: The term ‘computer graphics’ includes almost everything on computers that is not text or sound. Today, almost every computer displays graphics; and individuals commonly expect to control their computers through icons and pictures, rather than just by typing. Multimedia, on the other hand, utilizes a combination of various media on computers including text, animation, graphics, video, and audio.

Computer Graphics and Multimedia

Multimedia includes media and content that utilizes a combination of different content forms. The term can be used as a noun (a medium with multiple content forms) or as an adjective, describing a medium as having multiple content forms. The term is used in contrast to media which only utilizes traditional forms of printed or hand-produced text and still graphics. In general, multimedia includes a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, and interactive content forms.


In the field of education, multimedia is used to produce computer-based training courses (popularly called CBTs) and reference books, like encyclopedias and almanacs. A CBT course leads the user through a series of presentations, text about a particular topic, and associated illustrations in various information formats. ‘Edutainment’ is an informal term which describes the combination of education and entertainment, especially multimedia entertainment.


Multimedia is usually recorded, played, displayed, or accessed by information content processing devices, such as computerized and electronic devices. But it can also be used as part of a live performance. Multimedia also describes electronic media devices used to store and experience multimedia content. Multimedia is similar to traditional mixed media in fine art, but with a broader scope. The term "rich media" is synonymous for interactive multimedia. Hypermedia can be considered as one particular multimedia application.


Earning an online degree in computer graphics or multimedia combines the study of computers with the satisfaction of creatively designing and developing software, games, computer-based learning products, film animation, and graphics for web pages. The widespread use of computer-based multimedia has opened unique doors of opportunity for graduates who are willing to lend their training and talents to a diverse business community.
