Abstract
This paper identifies multimedia compatible with the challenges of
constrained low bandwidth environment by using a Multi Level Systematic
Approach (MLSA) through literature investigation, aimed to enhance blended
learning experience in developing countries. At level I, a huge database for
various media formats was identified. At level II, most commonly used visual
media was selected based upon the usability characteristics. At Level III, we
conducted a critical deep investigation of selected very commonly used media
formats using different characteristics. The analysis of Level III investigation
was done at Level IV. The study concluded that MP4, MP3 and JPEG or PNG
are, respectively, the video, audio and graphic formats compatible with the
challenges of constrained low bandwidth environment. This paper extends some
sections of the previous work published by the same authors.
