- Digital Chisel: A Visual Multimedia Authoring Tool. McCullough, John Couch, Richard A. Authoring Aids (Programming) Computer Assisted Instruction Computer Graphics Educational Technology Individualized Instruction Multimedia Materials Screen Design (Computers) Teaching Methods Tutoring Visual Learning Digital Chisel is a user-friendly multimedia authoring tool for helping students and teachers to tutor/teach the computer. It can be used as a visual presentation tool, as a tool to provide individualized instruction and as a tool to help students learn using a variety of visual and auditory modes. Interactive presentations can be designed without any knowledge of programming or scripting; the presentations, called projects, consist of a collection of screens, which contain a combination of text, graphics, sounds, animations, and movies. The projects are designed so that clicking on objects on the screen performs a variety of Digital Chisel events; every object in a project can perform 1 or as many as 24 separate actions. Text can be typed or text files can be imported from any word processing program. Graphics may be imported or created using the drawing and painting tools. Sounds can be used from sound-clip files or recorded directly; movies can be imported from video-clip files. All these multimedia objects can be stored in a media file called a library. In addition to presentations, screens can be designed to be visual, interactive quizzes or test questions; the quiz screens have the ability to record users' responses into a database and to calculate the percentage of correct answers. Four figures illustrate the discussion. (AEF)
