'Medicine is inherently a problem solving activity, in which efficiency and effectiveness are strongly dependent on one's ability to access and manipulate a vast knowledge base. Students should be given fewer "answers" and more "tools"-tools for self-teaching and for synthesising, framing, and revising knowledge.' This paper presents a prototype case which addresses these issues by providing tools that support the access, integration and application of knowledge in a medical context. The tools provide: learner and faculty feedback; economies of scale in the development of case series; and economies of effort for case designers and students.

This report describes two sections of an introductory computing class. One course was offered using conventional scheduled lectures and laboratories; the second in an independent study mode. Results show that the independent study students performed as well as those in the lecture course. Analysis of the use of multimedia resources suggests a need to adapt linear lecture material to a more dynamic, user-controlled format for multimedia presentation.

An outline is given of the development of a self authored multimedia package for enhancing lectures in an introductory undergraduate fluid mechanics course. The self authored approach provides a flexible environment in which the software can be developed over a relatively long time frame. This enables an academic with limited resources to develop and implement an effective software package in a series of steps. The motivation for introducing the multimedia tools is based on a set of educational initiatives which can most effectively be implemented through the use of multimedia. A monitoring program has been implemented to help to define future educational initiatives and to indicate the effectiveness of those initiatives that are being implemented. Examples of how some of the initiatives are being introduced into the lectures are also given.

Lam-for Kwok, K. Yeung
Both lecturers and students encountered teaching and learning problem with the abstract concepts in pneumatics encompassing a dynamic nature. 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.

The paper presents some multimedia based exercises for the understanding of the concepts of controllability and observability of linear time invariant dynamic systems. It is shown that abstract concepts like these can be easily explained and understood by using basic multimedia tools.

Computer simulations of complex processes have always been connected with the real world. Analog computation was invented to solve a problem in the real world. The best known early model of a biological system showed that a computer would be necessary to study real systems. Now that computation power is abundant, the complexity of simulations has risen to provide realism. Connections with the real world are essential in testing the simulation. Also, models are now too large for exhaustive testing, so the researcher has to fall back on the same approach used in investigating the real world: carefully planned experiments.

A Construction Management game designed to act as a link between technical studies and management studies has been developed at the QUT over a period of several years. The game has now been played by students for a period of four years and has recently been converted to a computer format. The paper covers the experience gained in the development and conversion of the game "COMMITTED" and appraises the effectiveness of this form of teaching.

This paper introduces an interactive learning package which was developed for electrical engineering courses at the University of Wollongong, Australia. Computer assisted learning methods are increasingly used by educational institutions to support their conventional teaching methods. With the development of new information retrieval technologies and advancement in multimedia development tools these learning methods have become very effective. The application of the authorware in conjunction with on-line documentation and help files and other educational software is demonstrated for supporting laboratory and tutorial classes.
