Content preauthoring: preparing medical imaging information for multimedia authoring and quizzing

Recent advances in multimedia development software and related hardware have given professionals and nonprofessionals tremendous power and flexibility to create multimedia education and training programs. Nevertheless, content organization remains a key and often neglected component of program development. Content preauthoring puts findings, diagnoses, differential diagnoses, and other standard radiologic concepts into a format that fosters logical program layout, centralized remediation, record keeping, decreased data entry, a variety of user levels, easy addition of cases, and linkage to a question-generating program. The goal of content preauthoring is to organize radiologic material into a hierarchical or spreadsheet-based structure that provides a logical basis for software design. By separating content design from software authoring, both processes become more manageable. This approach is applicable to visually oriented topics that focus on identification. The highly structured, goal-oriented nature of the method makes it particularly suitable for newcomers to multimedia authoring.
