Publishing Your Tutorial Online
The nal 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 les 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 les, 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 les
on the Real Server. If you elect to embed your
multi-media segments in an HTML framework,
place the HTML les 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.
