The courseware should include all multimedia elements: video (edit in Windows Movie Maker); a layered graphic/image (edit in GIMP); (custom animation; edit in GIMP) & audio (record and edit using Audacity.)
(but, animated gif – using Insert -> Picture, the animation can viewed in the presentation F5)
Publish the courseware (package for CD)



After finishing this two assignment, i may conclude that both software (Microsoft PowerPoint and OpenOffice.org Impress) have similarities in terms of functions. Although they are different in terms of user interface, both are user friendly.

Besides, i also learned that using this kind of program will make the lesson become interesting. The best part of this assignment is i know how to express or create something to make the viewer understand better about something new.

These are very useful for creating teaching aids in future to make our teaching more interesting.
