■ Presentation examples in different styles
Below you will find links to a range of online Rich Media presentations. We chose these based on each showing off a different usage or usage style. They range from the simple one-camera lecture style through to building a complete live and archived broadcast portal. All have been produced using Accordent software.

Note various presenters' choices in the use of bookmarks.
In a live or to-be-viewed-as-live presentation, bookmarks can be a distraction. Knowing what slide the professor will put up next can take away from the immediacy and impact of the presentation. As well logically a bookmark cannot take you to a point in a live presentation that has not happened yet!

However the next day when reviewing the same lecture, bookmark points can be vital to assist in locating study points of interest. So some presentations are best up-loaded live or immediately following their completion allowing full indexing, while others are more suited to a time-scheduled non-chapter method perhaps followed up by an archived version with bookmark labels.

		AN ONLINE MATHS LESSON This example shows an excellent use of how Rich Media can be used in an off-campus e-learning or personal study context. The chapters allow easy navigation to the study topic covered in the days class. This method is particularly suited to situations where the same information is being presented the same way year after year by an experienced teacher or lecturer.
