>Asymetrix Compel so that you can begin to create your own multimedia
>presentations. This course is an excellent way to discover the
>possibilities of multimedia and to prepare for our Introduction to
>Multimedia ToolBook course. You will: Learn common skills needed to use
>Windows programs, such as operating a mouse, starting and closing programs
>and storing and retrieving files; Apply these new skills to create a simple
>multimedia presentation using Compel. Dates: May 16-17, June 6-7

>* Introduction to Multimedia ToolBook *
>Don't miss out on this hands-on introduction to developing interactive
>multimedia lessons and presentations using the Asymetrix authoring software
>-- Multimedia ToolBook, Version 4.0. You'll learn: How to create and
>manipulate ToolBook objects; Basic principles of screen design, How to
>begin building multimedia applications that incorporate graphics,
>animation, audio and video. Dates: March 25-26, May 20-21, June 10-11, July
>8-9, July 22-23, August 5-6

>* Application Development with Multimedia ToolBook *
>This course provides an intermediate continuation of "Introduction to
>Multimedia ToolBook," with an emphasis on a deeper and more technical
>understanding of ToolBook application building and basic uses of
>OpenScript. This course is also ideal for former IAT ToolBook course
>participants who want to brush up on their ToolBook skills while getting a

>language including style, variables, properties, control structures,
>functions, messages, handlers; How to use Viewers; How to use Dynamic Link
>Libraries (DLLs); OpenScript control of multimedia events; Use of the
>ToolBook resource system. Dates: March 27-29, May 22-24, June 12-14, July
>24-26, August 7-9

>* CBT - Computer-Based Training *
>This course is intended for those who are involved in the development of
>Computer Based Training (CBT) and want to create training-oriented
>applications using Multimedia ToolBook CBT Edition. The course will focus
>on ease of development with the Multimedia ToolBook CBT edition Book
>Specialists, functionality available through the ToolBook user interface,
>an understanding of the ToolBook architecture and hierarchy, and
>OpenScript, the programming language in ToolBook, and its CBT extensions.
>When you complete this course, you will be able to develop sophisticated,
>easy-to-use computer-based training and course management applications.

>* Advanced Multimedia Techniques *
>For the more advanced student of multimedia, we'll cover the technical
>design and implementation of ToolBook multimedia applications for
>interactive classroom presentations and student lab assignments. You should
>bring a planned ToolBook project, as well as multimedia resource materials
>(audio and video, photos and scanned images). You will: Learn more advanced
>manipulation and control of multimedia in ToolBook; Learn more about screen
>design and interface building; Work toward completing an application
>template. Dates: June 24-25

>* Desktop Animation *
>A lecture can be a good lecture, but add animation to it and you can have a
>GREAT lecture. Animation fascinates, demonstrates and captivates. Animated
>sequences simulate processes that defy verbal descriptions. They
>communicate ideas and evoke emotions. Your audience will remember the
>animations; but more importantly, they will remember the content of the
>lecture and the teacher who gave it. This course is a lecture and a
>workshop. You will learn how to design and create animations and
>incorporate them in presentation and multimedia authoring programs. The
>lecture part will cover the full range of 2D and 3D animation from the CEL
>and Key Frame to Layered Command Driven. Students will produce their own
>animation ready to be made into video or included in software like
>PowerPoint, Freelance, ToolBook and Director. Dates: May 6-7, June 20-21,
>July 29-30

>* Distributed Learning Environments: An Integrating Model for Distance
>Education *
>This perspective of learning environments combines campus classrooms,
>distance learning and "virtual" learning environments with alternative
>delivery strategies that provide instruction less constrained by time,
>place or learning style. This two-day workshop: Compares dominant models of
>distance education; Examines the major variables in distance learning
>delivery; Contrasts the strengths and weaknesses of different distance
>technologies and delivery systems; Presents a new model for distance
>education that integrates various technologies with alternative delivery

>* Exploring and Creating Hypermedia Documents on the World Wide Web *
>In this workshop you will learn how to find and create World Wide Web
>documents for your own use. The Web is a hypermedia interface to resources
>on the Internet that has rapidly emerged as a dynamic way to publish
>information for the educational community. The Web is a convenient way to
>provide students access to resources ranging from support materials to
>complete courses. This two-day course will give you hands-on experience
>finding materials on the Web. You will also learn to use tools and
