You may want to contact M. Ember at the HRAF project, ember@yale.edu and
also contact people at the Center for Visual Anthropology (USC),
Michael Mascha is the director and they have a WWW site at
http://www.usc.edu/dept/elab. You can also look up Documentary
Educational Resources (http://cs.wpi.edu/~ptbast/der/homepage.html).
I would like to note that you should think of developing your multimedia
presentation for the Web, which has numerous advantages of CD-ROM:
1. HTML (the hypertext markup coding for the Web) is a much easier
system to use than any authorware I've seen and it involves absolutely no
software costs.
2. You can include resouces and references from other Web sites within
your presentation with the use of hypertext links.
3. You have instant worldwide distribution.
