This brief paper outlines a suggested format for incorporating multimedia presentations into teaching preparation courses in special education. It notes that novices and intermediate users can get started using multimedia presentations with minimal office computer equipment. Specific hypermedia and presentation software programs are identified. The paper lists eight steps in developing a multimedia presentation: (1) "storyboarding" of general ideas; (2) preliminary development using a multimedia authoring program; (3) gathering and saving media in digitized format; (4) revising the multimedia program; (5) developing a media disc on CD-ROM; (6) re-revising the multimedia program; (7) testing the program for "crashes"; and (8) field testing and presentation.
