This paper focuses on practical, and affordable, techniques for the development of interactive courseware. It discusses practical problems that arise in the low cost local development of multimedia materials, and some ofthe lessons we have learned. Topics include 1) selecting the development platform, including initiating development on one platform, only to subsequently discover that the development tools are inadequate; 2) converting documents, including illustrations and technical drawings, from paper to computer; 3) capturing and using live video; and 4) the economics of developing materials within an educational institution.
