Experience Multimedia

A must-have resource for anyone involved in the preparation and/or presentation of information, this powerful two-part learning package (CD-ROM and book) provides a complete learn-and-do multimedia experience, weaving multimedia concepts and technical demonstrations into beginner-level exercises. Fully equips users with an understanding of multimedia's concepts and components by proceeding through topics in a logical and cohesive fashion, and by paralleling CD-ROM tutorials with printed supplemental book instructions that are divided into six multimedia study areas ("why", "development", "uses", "elements", "issues", and "tools".) Companion printed book covers basic terminology, concepts, and techniques and promotes individual topic comprehension with objectives, overview, questions, exercises, and projects. Electronic CD-ROM "book" uses Microsoft PowerPoint tutorials to demonstrate the use of multimedia elements (enabling users to develop their own multimedia presentations and implement printed concepts), plus includes a library of media elements (graphics, sounds and videos.). Also includes a handy "search engine", menus and toolbars, and Power Point tips.
