[Year 12 IT Apps] duration of SACS

[Mark Kelly]

Of course, the definition of "multimedia authoring" could be considered 
very negotiable.

If you can create ("author") an information product that includes 
multiple forms of media (e.g. text, still pictures, video, audio) then 
strictly speaking you used multimedia authoring.

This would, in consequence, potentially include Powerpoint and even some 
databases.

Of course the tool may not be a very efficient or effective multimedia 
authoring tool, but it _is_ one nevertheless.  That's my story and I'm 
sticking to it.

Having said that, I'm using web authoring since the kiddies used it in 
U3O1 and no further training on a new tool is required.  The course is 
quite busy enough as it is!

Cheers
Mark
