AuthorWare Tutorial for the Macintosh EMASHE (Establishing Multimedia Authoring Skills in Higher Education) is providing a variety of materials designed to simplify your introduction to multimedia authoring. You may decide to author your own applications; in this case, you will have the skills to design, create, and deliver a package enhanced using any aspects of multimedia you feel are appropriate to your subject. You will be able to identify areas where you may wish to gain further expertise, and you will know how to do so. You will have the foundation skills to make an informed decision between authoring for yourself or designing/specifying a package to be constructed by someone else.
