Abstract
Producing an educational multimedia CD-ROM in a culturally diverse environment provides a number of challenges. Content collection and validation, client education, choice of multimedia consultants, research into cultural beliefs, cultural sub-groups, geographically dispersed subject matter experts and agreement between content experts from various para professional disciplines are but a few. This case study traces the development of a CD-ROM for Otitis Media, a middle ear infection which results in Conductive Hearing Loss in young children, particularly indigenous children, from as early as a few weeks old through to their teenage years and beyond. The recurring incidence of Otitis Media during a child's early years may result in permanent hearing loss and is thought to have a significant impact on a child's educational, social and emotional development. Experience gained from this project highlights the critical elements of a project that must be considered when developing a multimedia CD-ROM. These include educating the client, scoping the job accurately, determining content availability, choosing appropriate consultants and setting up clear communication and decision making strategies to achieve consensus between subject matter experts from diverse disciplines.
