Abstract:

Creating synchronized multimedia for the web was cumbersome until the recent introduction of Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL).  SMIL is a surprisingly simple, HTML-like language with which a web designer can synchronize video, audio, text and images. 

In this hands-on workshop the participant will:

·         learn how to prepare media for streaming delivery over the web;

·         create a simple SMIL presentation;

·         review SMIL authoring tools;

·         assess SMIL alternatives.

 

Benefit in Attending Session:

Who should attend?  Anyone who realizes that effective learning environments can be created with synchronized multimedia.  The workshop will help participants get started with creating SMIL multimedia presentations. 

Prerequisites: The participants should be familiar with basic HTML, digital image formats (e.g., jpeg, gif), and with the RealPlayer G2.
