Excerpt from Increasing Student Learning Through Multimedia Projects:
"Putting the Elements Together
Assembling media elements into a whole is known as authoring. Multimedia authoring can
take many forms, but for your purposes, you and your students will likely be creating
Web pages or computer based media presentations. If you have Netscape Communicator on
your computer, you already have a very simple Web Authoring tool called Composer. Other
web authoring applications include Dreamweaver, HomeSite, GoLive, and FrontPage. Computer
based media presentations are a modern version of a "slide show". Common tools for this
type of authoring are PowerPoint and Hyperstudio. More sophisticated tools include
Director, Authorware, and eZedia.
Authoring software serves as an assembler for the media files that you have created
in other programs. The part of authoring that may require the most technical knowledge
is saving each media piece in a compatible file format."
