Abstract
It is often claimed that techniques such as ‘multimedia’ and the use of blended learning environments can be used to achieve powerful interactive pedagogies. Indeed, the advent of easy‐to‐use multimedia technologies has meant that a plethora of digital learning products is now becoming available. Despite the relative ease‐of‐use of these new technologies, managing large‐scale multimedia courseware development projects is still very problematic. This paper discusses some of the issues involved and outlines an emerging methodology for managing such projects.
