Phillips @info. cu rtin. edu. au 1. Introduction The Computing Centre at Curtin University has been involved in the use of computers in education since about 1980. This interest began with the establishment of a software library of educational programs, and was followed in 1986 by the development of the Software and Courseware Online Reviews (SCOR) database (Winship, 1986) of educational software which is now available on the internet through WAIS and Gopher 1. The Computing Centre was thus well placed when interactive multimedia (IMM) became an affordable and innovative technology for use in computer-based learning (CBL). Curtin had a solid knowledge base, and with the adoption of a five-year information technology (IT) strategic plan, extra resources were available to employ academic and support staff with an interest in interactive multimedia. By the beginning of 1992, we obtained a substantial grant to commence development. The Computing Centre has been involved with 12 interactive multimedia computer-based learning projects over the last two years (Phillips, 1993). The focus of our work with interactive
