Results This approach in teaching Multimedia course enables the
students to create part of the projects that are incorporated in the official digital presentation of the national heritage of Republic of Macedonia
The idea that their work is presented to broader Macedonian community motivates them to achieve their maximal potentials, both in qualitative as well as in the quantitative aspect of the project creation
These types of projects give the students opportunity to feel the real team spirit, require managing the time and resources, and communication with authorities and people from the cultural
and historical community of the Republic of Macedonia

Conclusion
The digital presentation of national heritage offers enormous opportunities in application of the students’ skills acquired in the course of Multimedia
It is evident that due to the fact that these projects are available to broader public through their web accessibility, the students are highly motivated to create more interesting presentations
The motivation itself leads the students to global understanding of the multimedia technologies and a desire to master all of the software products taught in the Multimedia course
