Utilizing this technology can provide improved training tools and learning environments for the Department. Because of the many potential applications, technical and nontechnical, that may exist within the Department for utilizing this technology; a study was performed to answer questions about the technology; a study was performed to answer questions about the technology of multimedia and how to best utilize it. This report summarizes the work of the study committee as it came up with answers to these questions.
