Course Description
Multimedia is the combined use of text, graphics, sound, animation, and video.
A primary objective of this workshop is to teach participants how to develop
multimedia programs. Another objective is to demonstrate how still images,
sound, and video can be digitized on the computer. Participants in this
workshop will create their own multimedia courses using HyperStudio on the
Macintosh platform. HyperStudio is an authoring tool that allows you to
develop an electronic stack of cards that contain buttons, graphics, and text.
Issues concerning multimedia design and its use in education will be the focus
of reading and class discussions throughout the course of the workshop.

 Literacy includes being proficient in using the basic computer interface
(Macintosh or Windows), being able to perform basic file management
operations (formatting a disk, saving files, retrieving files, copying files and

you are unfamiliar with it (Windows users especially) you should
independently work through the tutorial program (found on the hard drive of
your lab computer) called "MacBasics." Please be sure you have these
prerequisite skills as we will not spend class time on this.

Course Policies
Materials:
 You will need to purchase several (4-5) 3-1/2" High Density (HD) Macintosh
formatted diskettes by the second class meeting.

Attendance:
The hands-on nature of this course makes daily attendance a must for all
students. Students shall receive one point for attendance of each class. No
attendance credit if tardy (tardy is anytime after instructor starts class).

Assignments:
The purpose of this class is to provide you with the opportunity to MASTER
the material presented. You will therefore have the option of revising any or all
assignments until you are satisfied with the evaluation you receive. You will
retain the HIGHEST point total that you earn - not the average.

To revise an assignment:

1. Must be turned in on time (at the beginning of the class period).

2. Revised assignments are due by the second class meeting after the
original assignment was returned to the class.
3. Revised assignments must be accompanied by the original grade sheet.

Late assignments:

Assignments may be turned in a maximum of one class period after

original due date, but may not be revised.

*** WARNING: High Volume Class, Sign Up Early ***

This is one of our most popular classes. A green flag beside a date on the right means that a
session has met the minimum enrollment levels and is running. However, it is common for dates for
this course to fill several weeks in advance. Even if a date has a green flag, you might not be able to
get into that session if it is full. To avoid disappointment, it is best to register for this class at least
three weeks in advance.

Overview
It's hard to imagine a day going by without people passing along large amounts of information.
Messages are everywhere, and the number of messages we receive seems to be increasing each
day. Whether via phone, email, mass media, or personal interaction, we are subjected to a constant
stream of information. With so much communication to contend with, it can be difficult to grab
people's attention. But, we are often called upon to do just that. So, how do you grab and maintain
an audience's focus when you're asked to present important information? By being clear, organized,
and engaging. And, that is exactly what Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2013 can help you do.

Gone are the days of flip charts or drawing on a white board to illustrate your point. Today's
audiences are tech savvy, accustomed to high-impact multimedia content, and stretched for time. By
learning how to use the vast array of features and functionality contained within Microsoft Office
PowerPoint 2013, you will gain the ability to organize your content, enhance it with high-impact
visuals, and deliver it with a punch. In this course, you will use PowerPoint 2013 to begin creating
engaging, dynamic multimedia presentations.

Target Student
This course is designed for students who wish to gain the foundational understanding of Microsoft
Office PowerPoint 2013 that is necessary to create and develop engaging multimedia presentations.

Microsoft Office Preview Software

This course was developed using the Microsoft Office Preview version of the software. Screenshots,
procedures, and activity steps are consistent with the version of the preview software that was
available at the time the course went to press. The course will be revised and re-issued when final
software is available. It is possible that there may be interim updates to the preview software, which
might cause minor discrepancies between the courseware and the application version you are
running in your classes.

Prerequisites
To ensure success, students should be familiar with using personal computers, and should have
experience using a keyboard and mouse. Students should be comfortable in the Windows
environment, and be able to use Windows to manage information on their computers. Specific tasks
the students should be able to perform include: launching and closing applications, navigating basic
file structures, and managing files and folders.
