The nature of any Interactive Multimedia package depends on the age and background of the learners, generally the IMM packages are made considering specific target groups, which makes the learning process easy.
If the target group is STD V students than it is likely that the students of STD II will find the IMM package too difficult and lose interest whereas, STD IX students would find the IMM package too easy and lose interest.
Visual aspects such as; appealing colours, interactive language, characters used, names given to the characters, attire in which characters are presented, all these aspects are considered in the context of the age of the learners.
Most of the IMM packages which target primary school students, even the voice-over is given by the children which enables young learners to relate to it. The package would not have a greater impact if the voice-over is given by adults.
Examples given are also synced with the age of the learners. For example, standard 2nd learners will find it difficult to understand about the nuclear energy project or the Nobel prize, such examples will be appropriate for the learners of standard 8th and above.
Similarly, standard 9th students will find it childish to learn through the examples of cats playing and the number of chocolates, such examples will be more appropriate for the learners of primary school.
Most of the IMM packages are focused towards changing the original structure of the curriculum and presenting it in some interesting form, for example, content can be converted into a story which can be narrated or given a rhythm and recited. this approach can be used for learners of all age groups, but depending on the age of the learners the complexity of the package will differ.
IMM packages are made considering the age of the target learners.
Thus, if these two
packages are used interchangeably for the target learners they will not make
the desired impact.
