Unless well-informed decisions are taken at the outset of a computer-based learning project, it becomes difficult to produce effective courseware because specific learning objectives are not identified. It is important to apply a structured approach to the analysis of the skills students are to acquire through using the courseware. In this paper a technique is discussed which involves a hierarchical decomposition using a dictionary of overt verbs in order to refine the specification of the skills required. The decomposition is not always obvious and usually requires continual refinement with time and experience as the project proceeds. It also provides a method of auditing the project. Eventually individual skills or educational objectives are identified and task specifications developed to indicate how these may be achieved. From the decomposition a detailed storyboard is evolved which documents the contents of a series of frames that describe how these objectives are achieved in courseware. A number of frame types have been identified and their use is illustrated with an example from the courseware being developed by the authors.<>

Lecture theatres in many universities are commonly being set up with multimedia facilities: on-line computers, colour video projection, audio-visual facilities. How can these facilities be effectively used to enhance lectures and engage students more deeply in their learning? Does a lecturer need to learn new lecturing skills and leave behind years of lecturing habits? The paper addresses the issue of how one can use multimedia in lectures and what is required in preparation. The illustrations come from a second year electronics course for physics students.<>

The multimedia computer technology is slowly gaining popularity worldwide. One of the focus today is an application of computers as an educational tool to upgrade the standard of presenting engineering concepts in higher institutions of learning. Although there is an abundance of software the market, frequently asked questions is " What is Multimedia and how will this new technology help enhance the standard of engineering education compared to the already existing systems?". This article would assist by introducing concisely the concept, its practical, applicability, the advantages and module preparation in the usage of the Multimedia technology for improving the already existing systems of presenting lectures on engineering with the aim of upgrading the level of understanding and subject interest for the students.<>

Computer aided learning methods and intelligent tutoring systems are now playing an important role in engineering education. They have the advantage of being able to expedite the teaching process and provide individualized tutoring and performance monitoring not bound by time. An intelligent tutoring system (ITS) has been developed to enable students to work independently and improve their understanding of engineering concepts and problem solving ability. ITS gives the students the opportunity to solve problems and to perform simulated experiments. It also provides general and task specific hints, which can be used by students to increase their understanding of the underlying concepts and thereby enhance the possibility of solving assigned tutorial and laboratory problems. ITS has the added advantage of being accessible over the network. Thus, students can log into the computer from any of several terminals around the University campus at any convenient time and access ITS. The performance of individual students is automatically logged and the lecturer has access to the log files. ITS also provides an automatic marking system which gives a student's score at any stage, taking into consideration the amount of help the student has requested to complete the task. These features make ITS also suitable for class tests.<>

The multimedia intelligent tutoring system for Chinese characters (CMITS) developed by us is a kind of microcomputer-oriented multimedia tutoring software. It has the following function: to teach the writing of Chinese characters based on the order of strokes observed in calligraphy, Chinese phonetics, word formation and explanation of the Chinese character, etc.; and to analyze and evaluate students' study status to guide students in error correction. This software is intelligent. In CMITS, pronunciation, graphs, images, text and data been integrated using the multimedia technique. CMITS provides a vivid and flexible user interface and rich studying environment through hypertext.<>

Computer based education (CBE) applications have enormous potential. Much literature has been published regarding this potential, overcoming technical difficulties and assessing effectiveness. However, a key and often ignored aspect is that CBE applications are unlikely to be effective unless learning theory is incorporated into the design phase. This paper discusses the relevant learning theory and develops a set of guidelines to assist in the design and refinement of effective CBE applications.<>

The paper first addresses the importance of laboratory sessions in engineering education and then describes the existing problems in Hong Kong due to the limitation in time, space and equipment. Such problems may result in accidents during the laboratory sessions. Multimedia produces a good means of briefing the students before the experiments are carried out and it not only replaces the conventional laboratory manuals that are boring but also enhances the interests of students experiments. One example has been described in detail for illustration. The system developed not only fulfils all the basic requirements of a multimedia system and conveys all important information to the students but it is very cost effective and affordable by almost all students in Hong Kong.<>
