With their assistance a survey form was distributed to all registered users. Those who responded and expressed interest in the study were contacted and interviewed in detail about the nature of the training they provided. These interviews, which are still in progress at the time this paper is being written, collected detailed information on the nature of the training programs currently available. Workshop on multimedia training In conjunction with the 10th Australian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education Conference, a workshop was conducted in Ballina, to explore training for IMC authors. This involved discussions about training strategies, content, evaluation methods, and post training support.
Conclusions Refer to study results distributed as part of the conference presentation.
Without programs to train increasing numbers of skilled courseware authors the spread and effectiveness of IMC is likely to fall well short of the expectations of educators and industry trainers.
