Creación de material multimedia educativo de las leyendas ilustradas del cantón Riobamba.

Abstract

Abstract The aim of this research is to produce educational multimedia resources about illustrated legends from Riobamba Canton, through the animation of settings and personalities, for promotion to a specific people between ten and twelve years of age. An evaluation was carried out on the products generated by the research group “KARAY” creative laboratory GIK, which is part of the Graphic Design career, who created six illustrated legends from Riobamba city and several applications containing: 61 illustrations, six narrated legends in text, four audio narrations and participations in national and international events. With this resource and a documental research through a bibliographic review and a field research, through an interview with elementary school teachers about the types of learning of specific people, the need for the development of two products was established, which are an animated video and an electronic book. For the production of the products, we started from the 6 legends and followed the phases from the audiovisual process, which are: pre-production, production and post-production. For the animated video we used the storyboard, the After Effects program to generate the movements of illustrations, and the sound incorporation. As for the electronic book, we started with the sketch, then the layout was made and, finally, interactivity options were created. To validate the multimedia resources designed, “Diana group” research technique was applied, with the participation of ten-year-old children, in which the group responded satisfactorily to the multimedia resources. Access to technological devices is recommended, so that they can use them as much as they wish. Video can be more accessible to users, because it can be sent through any media or social network. As for the e-book, the user needs to have Adobe Reader for its optimal operation.
