CHEMMAT: an assistant to chemistry teachers

Abstract

The trend towards multimedia in education is exemplified by the growing number of "multimedia ready" classrooms. The paper illustrates the process and techniques used for developing such a multimedia courseware. Additionally, this courseware employs sound instructional and learning strategies; thereby making the courseware not only educational, but also captivating. The other unique feature of the courseware is its adaptability. Any teacher who is familiar with the basic Windows technique will be able to add/modify the contents by using the "Teachers' Module". Moreover, this courseware can be easily translated to other languages, for example Chinese.
