This instructional resource investigates the pedagogical challenges and opportunities inherent in teaching William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream through digital media. The author, James Simms, provides a structured framework for educators to integrate CD-ROM technology into the classroom environment. By utilizing interactive multimedia, the text argues for a more immersive approach to dramatic literature that bridges the gap between traditional text and performance-based analysis.

The subject matter points to a specialized, practical guide intended for educators seeking to modernize their approach to classical literature during the mid-1990s. The framing suggests a focus on the technical and instructional utility of early digital learning tools in a humanities context.
