We have invested heavily in information technology, but to have that investment pay off, we must also invest in helping users use the technology. Training is absolutely required. Especially, training in the basics. Once users have grasped the fundamentals we find that collegial support and workshops work fine in expanding their knowledge. Structuring a user group is also valuable for sharing knowledge and experience in both the development and use of multimedia presentations.
Multimedia is a powerful vehicle for communicating information.
It appears that it will become more powerful over time. The number of ways to implement multimedia are also expanding. Our vision for multimedia at the Merrick School is unchanged. Our respect for the difficulties in achieving this vision have increased. However, our resolve to reach our vision is strong.
