The N.E.R.T. Multimedia Group will be exploring the world of interactive presentations through Authorware Software. First, the group will learn Authorware basics by using the Macromedia Authorware 4 Authorized Hands-On Training Booklet.  Once the students have mastered the basic concept of Authorware, they’ll then create their own story boards for an original presentation.
     The student’s new presentation will be called, Authorware:  From Us to You”, ands will explain what is Authorware.  The primary audience will be fellow students who have ever heard about this type of multimedia software.
     Students in the multimedia group will be encouraged to research how to insert pictures, graphics,sounds, and text into their original Authoware presentation.  We willalso schedule a field trip to the local United States Coast Guard Baseto view several Authorware presentations created by staff at the USCG Media Center.  While there, we hope to get other ideas, and suggestions from Authorware users that could enhance the student’s presentation.
