The preparation and training of power system dispatchers with the aid of a training simulator combining the problem-oriented teaching technique are described. The training simulator discussed belongs to a class of programmable simulators and contains a set of training procedures dealing with the most important emergency situation which is the characteristic conditions in bulk power systems. Using the same training procedures, it is possible to utilise a wide range of facilities for abandoning the current emergency practices. The scenarios for training procedures are built on the principles which form the basis of computer-assisted learning systems, consisting of a logical sequence of separate programs. The training is carried out in a dialogue mode with a computer.<>

Undergraduate learning programs in manufacturing planning and control should develop an understanding of the dynamic and cross-functional nature of the activities which are involved and the skills required to deal with these issues. Computer assisted learning using a tutorial-simulation approach provides an effective way of achieving this. The paper outlines an approach to relating the design to the desired educational outcomes.<>

An exercise for computer-aided laboratory experiment in electronic engineering is established. The exercise splits the experiment into two parts, the software simulation, and the physical measurement. The results of both parts are to be compared and discussed. The software package of PSPICE (student version) is chosen due to its ease in use, and free distribution to students.<>

This paper is about a 'self-learning package' and its effectiveness in the teaching of an analytical course. The package consists of a video and a set of hand-outs with 'gaps' which the students fill during the pauses in the video. It was used in a normal lecture slot for year 2 mechanical engineering undergraduates at Canterbury. The students have responded positively. The author believes that since the higher educational institutes (worldwide) are coming under increasing pressure to improve the quality and quantity of teaching without appropriate increase in funding, self-learning packages may become attractive. This is an area in which the multimedia technology has some potential applications.<>

The paper reports on recent development of a computer aided teaching software facility in the University of Melbourne's Control Systems Laboratory. The software runs under X-Windows, and can be easily ported to most UNIX workstations. It enables students to perform, on line, complex tasks such as block diagram manipulation and reduction, and system analysis. The software is interfaceable with MATLAB which can be used for more advanced and complex system analysis and design.<>

This paper describes work carried out by the authors and others in developing computer based teaching modules to assist in undergraduate teaching. The Paper concentrates on one illustrative example of a module, from a suite currently under development by the CALGroup consortium of which the University of Reading is a member. The paper describes the development process from conception of needs, planning, authoring, testing through to implementation into the teaching syllabus and testing its effectiveness. The paper concludes with a discussion of the relative merits of CAL and authoring systems such as Authorware Professional.<>

The full potential for assessment to contribute to the educational process of engineering students is typically unrealized. The main difficulty (apart from the natural inertia and reluctance to change of large institutions) is the infeasibility of implementing more effective alternatives in the resource-limited settings typical of modern educational environments. We present a system architecture that exploits multimedia technology to overcome serious limitations of traditional assessment methods. Our work concerns the design of cost-effective confidence-measuring and performance-testing assessment vehicles using multimedia-based student-system interaction. We demonstrate feasibility of the conceptual foundation through embodiment in a set of prototypes.<>

Describes the current status of musical education in Hong Kong and its associated problems. The relationship between music and computers is then addressed. The objective of this project is to build up a system that can serve two purposes: educating beginners in fundamental musical theory and skill, and guiding musicians into the world of computer music, which can be considered a new field of engineering. Then, the basic structure of a hypermedia environment is introduced, so that musical education can be implemented on such an environment. The features of the musical education system developed by our research team are described in detail.<>

The use of hypermedia and multimedia technology is perceived as one of the most efficient ways to enhance student access to information and improve learning interaction in the undergraduate computer science course. Such an approach will guarantee high level quality teaching whilst permitting significant reduction in lecturer-student contact hours. In this paper we investigate how some special properties of multimedia data can be handled by conceptual modelling techniques. We propose a simplified conceptual framework for the development of interactive courseware. In our proposal, we examine firstly the static structure of the system focusing on the structure of objects and their relationship to each other while temporarily disregarding the dynamic nature of the system. To simplify the conceptual model construction we use predefined constructs and topic descriptors. In a later stage the conceptual model is used to generate the functional prototype. The dynamic behaviour of the system-flow of control, interactions, sequencing of operations on active objects-is examined in real time using the functional prototype, corrective member, and the feedback loop.<>
