Abstract
A multimedia courseware on protective product packaging has been developed using a commercial authoring tool, IconAuthor™. The courseware contains general information on packaging and packaging materials, the design of expandable polystyrene foam protective packaging buffers and the moulding process. The courseware, designed with the novice designer in mind, is characterized by easy navigation, and contains self-assessment quizzes at the end of each module that is a judicious mix of questions that test both recall as well as comprehension. The choice of authoring tool is also discussed. Interactive multimedia was chosen as the medium of delivery as it has many advantages such as the inclusion of video, sound, animation, which are not found in conventional instructional media.
