Abstract	Just as information technology has made a tremendous impact in business and with researchers around the world, so too can it impact the learning process in the college classroom by improved conveyance of information, promotion of new insights, customizing the learning environment for each student, and freeing the mind from traditional methodologies. However, most classes are still taught with traditional lectures and traditional tools such as blackboards and chalk, essentially unchanged since the Middle Ages. The highest technical level seen in many classrooms is the use of overhead projectors and plastic foil transparencies.Faculty members have not been bringing the multimedia technologies available today into the classroom. The most pressing reason for this is that faculty members in general do not receive recognition or reward for their teaching skills or teaching related publications. Faculty members at Tulane and at many other Universities receive their primary rewards (tenure, salary and promotion) for superior research efforts resulting in research related publications. Another reason for the slow trickling of high tech into the classroom is that resources are often not available to faculty members who desire to bring information technology into the classroom. The faculty member may not have adequate access to the local computing facilities for the preparation of computer-based materials and information. Some faculty members are inexperienced with computers and will find it difficult to begin learning to use computers. Faculty members are unfamiliar with what sorts of educational purposes computer technology might be good for within their own fields. And faculty members who spend so much time on the rewarding endeavor of doing good and valuable research do not have much time to develop ordinary lecture materials, much less information technology based multimedia lecture materials.
