This paper will focus on issues relating to the building of multimedia presentations under a certain framework through a newly developed e-learning tool. The issues addressed include the theoretical principles upon which the tool is based, the effective and appropriate use of multimedia and the format of presentation delivery. Java- Assisted SMIL (abbr. JAS) authoring tool is an advanced education supporting tool that ensures the maximum flexibility and deliverability for building multimedia presentation in an e-learning system. A presentation author can create his/her own streaming video along with the PowerPoint slideshows and other useful information through JAS. It simplifies the way to access latest SMIL technique and the outputs of an e-learning system.
