Publishing Your Tutorial Online
The final step in producing your online tutorial
is publishing it on the Web. Your tutorial may
consist of just one SMIL presentation, or it may
be a series of presentations. You must decide
how to present these files in a way that facili-
tates your instruction. You may wish to provide
a link to the SMIL presentation directly from an
existing Web page. Or you might create a spe-
cial “tutorial” Web page with links to one or more
related presentations. Alternatively, you can
embed your presentation in HTML files, which
allows for substantial control over the viewing
environment. (In addition, embedding in HTML
allows you to include quizzes, assignments and
other non-multimedia elements in a consistent
framework.)
By now, you will have determined whether Real
Server is available to host your media. If so, be
sure to place any media, RealPix and SMIL files
on the Real Server. If you elect to embed your
multi-media segments in an HTML framework,
place the HTML files in your usual Web-publish-
ing folder.
TIP: Remember that streamed audio and
video hosted on a machine running Real
Server are retrieved using the “rtsp” proto-
col instead of “http.” Be sure to reference
your media appropriately.
