Papers published in this volume were presented at the National AECT Convention in Denver, CO. A limited quantity of these Proceedings were printed and sold. It is also available on microfiche through the Educational Resources Clearinghouse (ERIC) system. For the first time, these Proceedings are published in two volumes. This volume contains papers primarily dealing with instruction and training issues. Papers dealing primarily with research and development are contained in the companion volume, which also contains over 60 papers. REFEREEING PROCESS: Papers selected for presentation at the AECT Convention and included in these Proceedings were subjected to a reviewing process. All references to authorship were removed from proposals before they were submitted to referees for review. Approximately fifty percent of the manuscripts submitted for consideration were selected for presentation at the convention and for publication in these Proceedings. The papers contained in this document represent some of the most current thinking in educational communications and technology. M. R.

DiGangi Ruvi Wijesuriya Arizona State University Abstract This paper discusses issues relating to the design, development, and delivery processes of multimedia modules such as Macromedia Flash®, Shockwave movies®, and Quicktime movies®. These modules were employed to teach an undergraduate plant biology class at a large southwest university. Each medium has different strengths and weaknesses. Their proper use resulted from the collaboration among the content experts, instructional designers, and multimedia developers. Equipped with modern web technologies, instructional designers have abundant resources to deliver courses based in a multimedia and rich with interactivity. However, design is only one of several crucial factors of a successful web-based course. No matter how rich the media features are, obstacles during implementation hinder students from effective learning. For example, faculty without experience in multimedia development and distance education may under-estimate the required cost and resources, which may result in a delay of delivery and frustration. In addition, inexperienced Web developers might not realize the diversity of user computers. Web pages look good in a particular platform, a particular browser, and a particular setting might look different in other computers. Further, digital movie is said to be a useful illustration
