1. Few words for the system and the development
The scope of this project is to develop a computerized system for the curriculum A and B classes of the Lyceum which will be helpful for the students because it will make reading more enjoyable. It includes the curriculum of the A and B classes of the Lyceum with the appropriate exercises and lab assignments.

The major desirable objectives are:
1. Basic computer terminology
2. Recent developments in the field
3. Lab assignments with their solutions
4. Exercises with their solutions
5. The choice for the user to use two different paths:
• By searching
• By system based-learning to control and monitor the progress
6. Assessment for the progress of each level
7. Greek should be the language of the project
8. The whole system should be stored on a CD
9. The system should include a setup program
10. On line help
For a more detailed description of the objectives please refer to Appendix A.

To make this system more interesting, the use of sounds, videos, images, voice, animation and text are very important. Mr. Michael Tortouris, who is responsible for the project, gave the material that is used by the system. Also some sides from the Internet were used to gather more information, images and videos.
The software program used to develop this Multimedia System is the Asymetrix ToolBook II, version 5 that is appropriate software to develop multimedia projects. More information about this software you will be able to read in the next pages. This is the main software program used to develop this system. Also other programs such as image processing programs, voice recorders etc were used for the development.
The hardware used for the development is a standard PC with Windows 95 so that to be able to run the above applications, a scanner to scan images used in the system, a printer and finally a CD writer so that to transfer the system on the CD.

2. What is a Multimedia system?
Today's common definition of multimedia is the incorporation of sound, animation, still images, hypertext or video used in conjunction with computing technology. The definition "multimedia", however, is almost useless because multimedia continually becomes more integrated into common software.

3. ToolBook
ToolBook is a multimedia authoring system. Features include new book specialist, Visual Basic control support, object browser and property editor, palette optimizer, script remover utility, and shared scripts. Win95 controls let the user create applications that automatically adjust their interface to any Windows platform. Internet features launch Web pages allowing integration with browsers to build applications that automatically access the WWW.
ToolBook is also a training development tool. Allows teachers and instructional designers to create computer-based training, performance support systems, and other interactive learning applications.
It is a flexible, powerful authoring for online learning applications. Asymetrix ToolBook II Instructor is the premier courseware-authoring product for professional developers, programmers, instructional designers, and trainers. Combining easy-to-use templates, wizards, and preprogrammed Catalog objects with the full-featured OpenScript programming language, Instructor offers a powerful development environment for creating sophisticated courseware delivered over the Internet, the intranet, a local area network, or a CD-ROM.
