Abstract:
Over the last several years, the integration of multiple media sources
into a single information system has become a rapidly developing
phenomenon. This growing technology, which many refer to as multimedia,
merges graphic, audio and video data into a computer-based information
retrieval program. Until recently, it has been difficult for people with
non-computer science backgrounds to develop and author sophisticated
multimedia programs. However, with the recent introduction of many high
level authoring, animation, modeling, and rendering programs for both the
Macintosh and Windows-based computers, significant multimedia courseware
programs can be developed by professor and students. Even with these new
media tools, a considerable amount of time is required to produce an
interactive multimedia program for engineering education.
