Multimedia technology has advanced significantly in the past few years. Graphic, animation, audio and video data can be stored and processed efficiently in personal computer systems. CD-ROM technology has also matured over the years and it provides an economical and convenient means for storing a large amount of digital information. With careful designing and authoring, interactive multimedia courseware in CD-ROM format can be developed and produced for effective learning. In developing interactive multimedia courseware for teaching and learning, instructional design (ID) and management are two crucial aspects for successful products. Based on the authors' experiences in developing multimedia projects in the areas of curriculum information systems, interactive desktop video, and video CD-ROM courseware, a design model for managing interactive multimedia courseware production has been proposed. This paper will present and discuss the model which includes five phases, namely analysis, development, production, evaluation, and implementation.
