HyperStudio is an excellent choice for putting together multimedia
presentation projects that seamlessly integrate multimedia components.
However, why would you want a hard copy? Without the video, sound,
pictures, and animation, the project will be relagated to text only. Most
text will be in the form of small text fields on each card that relate to
the items on each card. The multimedia components serve to enhance the
text portion of the project. My experience suggests that you might want to
use a word processor for the text portion of the project; then have the
students make the HStudio project for computer viewing only.
