In particular, the research described in this study involved an investigation of the implementation of digital media - utilising Macromedia multimedia and web-based solutions for school project work - in a Year 9/10 Information and Software Technology (IST) elective course: Internet and Web Design. It concentrated on the subsequent assessment and impact that the software had on creating an inquiry-based situation to promote higher-order thinking skills among students completing multimedia projects for publication on the World Wide Web within a secondary classroom.]]
