Title of thesis: The Effects of Motion Graphics towards Graphic Design Student鈥檚 in Malaysia Higher Education Institutions
The current doctoral practice-based research aims to encourage the usage of technology in order to improve the quality of education. The world’s commitment in improving current education by leveraging the use of technology has clearly been demonstrated through the agenda in Education 2030, Sustainable Education Goal 4 (SDG-4) and Malaysian Higher Education. Based on the way we use technology today, it gives a huge impact on the generation-z student attention span as it decreases each year. This research focuses on the use of multimedia tools specifically motion graphics in educating generation-z in the Malaysian higher education context by measuring their learning outcomes and attention span. Motion graphics is a type of video that combines movement, audio, graphics, and text to create an illusion for the purpose of communicating information. It is an example of a good way to communicate where it possesses a substantial effect on the audience by evoking their emotions and attention. Therefore, this research hopes to provide an alternative pedagogy for teachers to be used in the classroom for teaching design students with the help of emerging technology.
