Marlene Manto is South Australia’s LearnScope State Manager. LearnScope is a project of the 2005 Australian Flexible Learning Framework (2005 Framework). LearnScope focuses on professional development to enhance the skills and understanding that underpin e-Learning and e-business. It provides funding for work-based professional development projects and encourages both individuals and teams to model sustainable practices in their own learning through a range of strategies including engagement with recent thinking about professional development in the ‘knowledge era’.

In this article Marlene explores a, perhaps, atypical view about the development of multimedia, and argues that while there is a place for multimedia teams and the professional production of specialised learning resources, there is also a convincing argument that this sophisticated and erudite level of multimedia production is not unconditionally necessary, and in some cases may be detrimental to both the learning experience of learners/workers and teacher/trainer motivation and commitment.
