This software can create a standalone application on Windows OS. A maximum of four multimedia-like movies can be linked to each “Post-it-like” sticker icon or dot code overlaid using a GM Authoring Tool. Touching the dot codes with a speaking-pen (G-Speak) or a dot-code reader (G-Pen BT) replays the corresponding multimedia on a screen of a PC.

Abstract
University students go to school several times a week, as voluntary supporters, and help teachers not only conduct lessons, but also create self-made teaching materials with newly developed technologies such as multimedia-enabled dot codes and EPUB 3 eBooks with Read-Aloud. The university students-schoolteachers partnership enables the younger students to learn the required subjects with newly educational technologies. For university students, especially those in the pre-service teacher program, such a collaboration is really effective to not only know the class lessons, but also to encourage them to become teachers. The collaborative research works of the university professor with the ICT business companies are crucial to produce newly creative and gifted software and tools for students with various difficulties. This chapter briefly presents newly developed software and tools used for class lessons, and then it describes fruitful collaboration with schoolteachers in creating self-made teaching materials and conducting activities.
