THESIS: Definitions from Wikipedia


Channel, in communications (sometimes called communications channel), refers to the medium used to convey knowledge from a sender (or transmitter) to a receiver, while Broadcasting is the distribution of audio and/or video signals, (programs) to a number of recipients ("listeners" or "viewers") that belong to a large group. Hence a broadcasting channel is medium that connects a transmission center to a wide group of recipients to distribute information.

Knowledge is information of which someone is aware. Knowledge is also used to mean the confident understanding of a subject, potentially with the ability to use it for a specific purpose. In the realm of Epistemology, knowledge has been assumed to have at least the following three properties: justified, true, and believed.

Intimite is an adjective that means Familiar; near; friendly; confidential.

Constructivism views all of our knowledge as "constructed", because it does not reflect any external "transcendent" realities; it is contingent on convention, human perception, and social experience.

A conceptual model is a theoretical construct that represents physical, biological, or social processes, with a set of variables and a set of logical and quantitative relationships between them.

Multimedia is the use of several different media (e.g. text, audio, graphics, animation, video, and interactivity) to convey information. Multimedia also refers to the use of computer technology to create, store, and experience multimedia content. Multimedia is also a pleonasm as media is the plural of medium, hence it is a double plural. As the information is presented in various formats, multimedia enhances user experience and makes it easier and faster to grasp information. Presenting information in various formats is nothing new, but multimedia generally implies presenting information in various digital formats.
