he World Wide Web is likely to become the major publishing medium in the near future. It is particularly well suited to multimedia presentations which combine text, graphics, sound, and narration. This web page shows you how to prepare multimedia PowerPoint presentations which combine text, graphics, and sound so they can be published on the Web. The information here is based on an excellent multimedia course created by the EASI/TLT group and is oriented toward the Web environment at the University of Washington. You may use the URL above to register for their course if you choose.
