Extract

This paper describes how teachers without specialist computing skills can create their own computer delivered multimedia learning applications using a word processor and digital information from a variety of sources. These home-made multimedia applications can exploit video, sound clips, animations, photos, and graphics. Examples of such DIY multimedia learning materials are shown, their method of creation described and possible benefits of their use for CALL and self-access put forward.
