The paper supports the demonstration of a hypermedia based environment that provides educational material in electric energy systems engineering. 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.

Software tools, built with Asymetrix Multimedia ToolBook, have been developed to facilitate embedding of mechanistic simulation resources into electronic tutorials. The Simulation Control Program (SCoP) has been modified to create Windows Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) directly from model source code using a graphic user interface (GUI). 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.

Describes a multimedia course in associative learning, resident on CD-ROM, and currently available for Macintosh computers. The course is presented using HyperCard and comprises of some 70 mini lectures grouped into nine chapters. Each mini lecture consists of an audio track, bullet charts, quotes, graphs, pictures, animations, photographs, and most contain one or more video clips. The text for each mini lecture is available on an adjacent card.

For the introductory physics course a teaching/learning unit 'oscillatory motion' has been developed in a joint international project. The multimedia learning environment SLICE (Self-Directed Learning in an Interactive Computer Environment) is accompanied by printed material and commercial laser disc material. SLICE operates under WINDOWS using TOOLBOOK. SLICE integrates textual material, animations, simulations, and standard software like spreadsheets (EXCEL), and computer algebra systems (MAPLE). Didactical aim is to develop and foster self-learning abilities in the foundation studies as an essential prerequisite for further on-campus studies, for continuing education and life-long learning in a distance-learning mode.

Most multimedia presentations produced by many commercial software do not consider the audience's individual background. IMMPS is a multimedia authoring and database system that allows a presenter to plan the audience's reaction in advance. While the audience is watching a presentation, the underlying inference system is learning from his/her response. This mechanism makes a presentation to be done again, act according to the audience's background and knowledge. Thus, the resulting presentation is more diversified.

First year accounting subjects traditionally have focused on developing technical competence in the accounting process. Because this is both time-consuming and often very repetitive students can adopt a very mechanistic approach to learning without gaining any of the broader theoretical understandings necessary for the future years of the course. This paper describes the design, implementation and initial evaluations of interactive multimedia workshops in the first year program. These IMM workshops were designed to encourage students to take a deeper approach to learning the necessary technical processes within understandings of the broader theoretical frameworks.

An intelligent tutoring system is used to support the education of power and electrical engineering students. The aim of this project is to make teaching and learning more productive and efficient by employing modern technologies. It seeks to find new methods to teach large number of students with no increase in staff. Intelligent tutorials are developed based on an expert system shell. 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. They found this software easy to use and understand, and it will become an extra teaching tool.

Since the early 1990's the convergence of telecommunications and computer technologies and their relative cost reduction, has created a range of opportunities for the development of new teaching and learning environments. 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.

The paper reviews three learning models and information technologies that can be used to support the effective application of these learning models in engineering higher education. The effectiveness of an information technology is analyzed through the appropriateness of the technology in supporting a particular learning model. The mapping of information technologies to learning models identifies technologies in which engineering schools should invest in order to improve their educational environment and quality.

Building services engineering is the study of the effective and efficient utilisation of energy within a building and the provision of a comfortable environment for the residents to work, to live and to have enjoyment. Nowadays, building services engineering becomes a distinctive profession in modern cities due to the dense population and the popularity of ultra high rise buildings. In the UK and Australia, there are extensive degree courses in building services engineering. In China, by 1998, there will be only three degree courses in building services engineering at Bachelor level, two in Hong Kong and one in Shanghai. Subject to the high demand in building services engineers in China and around the world, a comprehensive degree course at undergraduate level in building services engineering is being developed on the Internet so that everyone on the globe is able to take the course and obtain a degree without personally attending classes in Hong Kong. The basic structure of the course and framework of the homepage are described. The solutions to and implementations of four important issues related to a degree course in general, namely lecture/tutorial, laboratory work, coursework and examination, are highlighted so that these developed techniques can be applicable to the development of other degree courses on the Internet as well.
