• Blackboard: Descriptions of many advanced features such as Group management, Threaded discussions, Virtual Classrooms and the Wimba suite of voice communication software.
• iMovie: An easy-to-use movie editing program, ideal for creating short clips and slideshows to be placed on web-sites.
• Creating Video Slideshows: Use iMovie and iPhoto to create video slideshows that can be used on the web or in a presentation, or burned to CD or DVD.
• Adobe Photoshop: Sections on basic image editing, banner creation and image transparency
• Adobe (Macromedia) Dreamweaver: Tutorials on creating a single web-page and using templates to create larger websites.
