In fact, the course has been charted out and the authors are keen to share their experiences in order to guide future explorations, so that these do not fall victim to sandbars and reefs that constitute pitfalls and problems for the uninitiated and unsuspecting computer user. The Business Law project has been the vehicle with which Martyn has discovered the use of Authorware Professional as one of the tools available for the development of multimedia material. With the Singapore Government's IT-2000 Plan, the Polytechnic's interest in multimedia, the Ngee Ann lecturers' commitment to excellence in teaching and the keen interest shown by Singapore students, all these agents are present in Singapore.
