Genuine Multimedia
“It could seem an elitist position, but I think if you’re unwilling or unable to talk about how you learn, you shouldn’t be talking about how others learn.”
“My favorite multimedia software is the Voyager Company’s series of music CD-ROMs. They’re wonderful. You can listen to Beethoven, for instance, and see on-screen commentary or the musical score at the same time. You can stop it and ask where you heard a phrase before, or go back and search for a phrase just like you would a word in a text. It’s genuine multimedia, meaning it does something you really can’t do with traditional media.”
