Toolbook Tutorial for the PC
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.
As part of the overall EMASHE package, the "Toolbook Tutorial" is
now available independently. This printed tutorial manual,
