Multimedia is fast emerging as a basic skill that will be as important to life in the twenty-first century as reading is now. Multimedia in fact, is changing the nature of reading itself. Instead of limiting you to the presentation of printe text, multimedia makes reading dynamic by giving words an important new dimension. Not only conveying meaning, words serve as triggers that readers can use to expand the text in order to learn more about a topic. This is achieved not only by providing more text but by bringing it to life with sound, pictures, music, and video.
I generate CD rom and internet based multimedia presentations, training modules, catalogues and digital video (DVD).
