Based on the idea that anyone who is interested in making entertaining and informative presentations in educational settings is interested in multimedia, this practical guide offers tips for communication (and other) teachers who want to integrate and program interactive multimedia into their courses. The guide suggests that teachers on limited budgets begin by getting: (1) a personal computer; (2) an authoring system (a set of software referred to as a program); and (3) a VCR or Laserdisc player that interfaces with both the personal computer and the authoring system. The guide also recommends specific computer programs and hardware. (NKA)
