Owens, Peter – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 1992
Advances in multimedia and video technology have made more sophistication in educational software almost necessary, requiring complex team authorship and production considerations. Colleges and schools can be active in software development and perhaps keep software production down to earth. The transition will be expensive and require many and…
