HTML provides a platform-independent way of creating and making multimedia presentations for classroom instruction and making that content available on the Internet. However, time in class is very valuable, so that any way to automate or otherwise assist the presenter in Web page navigation during class can save valuable seconds. This paper describes the use of frames and JavaScript in conjunction with VGA/TV project systems to automate teacher-side Web page navigation for classroom presentations. The methods used are not visually distracting to the students during class, do not require Web server support or an Internet connection (i.e., they can be used with only local hard drive access), and can be used independently of the student-side Web page access so that students who may or may not have browsers that support the features used on the teacher side can still access the content of those pages.
