The widely available Web technology is used to integrate diverse teaching resources such as modular hypertext units, static images, audio and animation files as well as computer simulation programs in a structured way. It is shown that the use of hypermedia based information retrieval systems such as the Netscape Navigator for disseminating this type of educational material has many advantages that cannot possibly be achieved by conventional tools.","PeriodicalId":332016,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Conference on Multi Media Engineering Education.

SCoP DLLs can be linked into ToolBook applications containing animation objects and/or dynamic graphs. Another GUI builds any required graphing objects and ToolBook scripts using an information file generated by the DLL builder. The resulting scripts are easily modified to synchronise quantitatively precise motion of animation objects with or without dynamic graphical display.","PeriodicalId":332016,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Conference on Multi Media Engineering Education.

They provide the functionally interacted set of theory and problems, and support the student progress monitoring and assessment. The paper describes the development of tutoring software for teaching electrical engineering subjects, and in particular, fault analysis in power systems. The expert system based software has been developed and successfully used by power systems students.

These new educational environments can be linked to technological developments in the workplace and the home. While the latter environments are focused on business goals, entertainment and service provision, the hardware, software and infrastructure they require are largely compatible with that required for training and educational purposes. As Australia's newest regional university, Southern Cross has attempted to identify and conceptualise the opportunity to migrate from paper based print materials to telecommunications based interactive courseware as central to its mission as a regional provider of tertiary programs. At the same time, it is seeking to use these same technologies to regionalise, nationalise and internationalise its programs by offering opportunities for interstate and overseas students to study at Southern Cross without the need to physically visit the campus. The paper outlines the development of a Masters level unit in futures studies as an example of this new generation of courseware.","PeriodicalId":332016,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Conference on Multi Media Engineering Education.

The paper describes the development and experience of a multimedia computer assisted learning package for teachers training in pneumatics. The main feature of the package lies in the explanation of the dynamic nature of abstract pneumatic concepts by making use of the animation on the flowing of air particles inside pneumatic components within a circuit from which the circuit operation can be explained clearly. The approach has been found to be very useful to train teachers who are undergoing initial or refresher training and to those who have difficulties in learning abstract concepts in the operation of pneumatic circuits.","PeriodicalId":332016,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Conference on Multi Media Engineering Education.
