No media degree would be complete without taking a multimedia course in sound engineering. So many jobs in this field depend on the use of sound equipment, that it is very important to learn all about how it is used and how it works.

Multimedia courses have changed a lot in the past several years. What use to consist of film, print, television, and radio now has more to do with computerization and technology than anything else.

Since multimedia originated from basic television, print, film, and radio, it is still very interesting to learn about what it use to be like before computers. Any student who is pursuing a media degree should take a multimedia history course if possible to learn about the origins of the field.
