This article includes an introduction to the terminology and different types of formats of current multimedia technologies. Integration opportunities and challenges for using multimedia for students with learning disabilities are discussed in the framework of learning environments. Multimedia used as a demonstration station, learning research station, and creation station offers teachers and students possibilities for enchancing the teaching-learning environment.
