| In education, multimedia has come to mean the integrated use, in a computer-based
system, of digitized text, audio, graphics, animation, and video to present elements of
course content. These elements can be presented in many different ways, allowing students
to choose their own path through the courseware through keyboard or mouse interactions.
Developing good multimedia courseware is a highly skilled task requiring knowledge of the
subject matter, instructional design skills, and familiarity with the authoring software.
Multimedia courseware may be presented on a CD-ROM for use on a stand-alone personal
computer or over the Web through networked computer terminals. Resources on
