From the supplier: An educational multimedia research project at Glendale Community College in Glendale, CA, sought to create an easy to use, multimedia environment that would be interactive, and would bring multimedia into the classroom. The research focused on creating a courseware template for use in an introductory computer science class. The system uses two separate computers, one with presentation software for delivering slides during the lecture, and the other loaded with a scripting language designed to give the instructor a GUI to control the delivery of multimedia elements. The project uses Persuasion 3.0 as the presentation software, which provides a simple way to create templates. HyperCard 2.2 is used as the scripting language. HyperCard was used to create an environment where the user can click on buttons to trigger events on the classroom monitor. Student booklets accompany the multimedia presentation. The booklets contain copies of the slides, with room for annotations. Instructors are able to use the system with minimal training.
