RESOURCE-LIMITED HYPER-REPRODUCTIONS - ELECTRONICALLY REPRODUCING ANDEXTENDING LECTURES

Multimedia authoring and publishing incorporates a variety of types of publications, from newly created multimedia presentations to digital libraries that incorporate a wide variety of pre-existing materials, f rom small self-published magazines to large productions that involve d ozens or hundreds of workers and budgets nearing those of small featur e films. In this paper, we consider an important form of electronic pu blication that is not frequently analyzed: the lecture, as reproduced and extended electronically. We present a methodology for transforming a recorded lecture into an appropriately useful and interactive multi media publication-the hyper-reproduction-highlighting techniques appro priate for publications with limited resources (workers, time, bandwid th, etc.). We suggest techniques for automating parts of the construct ion and discuss the added capabilities of such reproductions and their effect on how users access, navigate, and retain information.
