<p>Dear colleagues</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For this outcome the study design states that either web authoring or multimedia software needs to be used, and a list of suitable tools appear in the Glossary under the entry 'authoring software'. This list does not include Word.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regards</p>
<p>Paula</p>

<div>The problem with Word is that it is designed for printed output. It is not optimised for multimedia output, even if it can be forced to do so.<br>
I do not count Word or PDF as "multimedia" tools - I use web editors, Powerpoint, Flash (and other multimedia editors) and the like.<br>
<br>
To use Word is really stretching the definition of a multimedia tool, IMO - and I don't think it's what VCAA had in mind...<br>

This is also my first time teaching ITA.<br>
<br>
The functions for Multimedia authoring software in the study design is defined as below.<br>
edit and format content<br>
links<br>
navigation<br>
buttons<br>
screen layout<br>
incorporate images/sound<br>
<br>
As far as I can tell Microsoft word 2010 satisfies all these functions.<br>
<br>
I'm was going to use word with the styles and navigation tab to create the document. See (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U760OPASUA" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U760OPASUA</a>)<br>
Then show them how to output this as a PDF file with navigation constructed based around the headings set up in word. (see attachments)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Chris<br>
