This introductory guide to multimedia for academic use is a revision of the previous publication "Hypermedia in the Humanities", edited by Marilyn Deegan, Nicola Timbrell and Lorraine Warren (Universities of Oxford and Hull: ITTI, 1992).

The new title reflects a broadening of the book's scope to cover all subjects (not just the humanities) and to all areas of further and higher education. Nevertheless, the aim of this publication is similar to that of the first edition: to offer an introduction to the world of multimedia, the means of creating multimedia packages and the possible uses of multimedia in a learning environment.

The changes in technology and the higher education infrastructure are reflected in the new material contained in this publication. It includes a new chapter on the possibilities of publishing multimedia material on the Internet via the World-Wide Web, and highlights some of the new projects around the UK, most notably the Teaching and Learning Technology Programme (TLTP). The glossary has been greatly expanded and readers are directed to this for definitions of any unfamiliar terminology.
