A framework for the development of multimedia systems for use in engineering education

“…Despite the students having different needs and/ or attributes, which have some influence over the design and effectiveness of the hypermedia application, they also have shared aims such as obtaining information in as short a time as possible, with minimum effort, and purged of all information that does not directly concern the subject matter [7].…”

“…To facilitate on-screen reading, the font size should be larger than that used on paper. The texts must be brief and concise [7], since a text that appears on paper to be short, takes up much more space on screen, which is not only due to the font size, but also to the fact that the lines are much shorter than the full width of the screen.…”

This article presents a hypermedia application used to study pneumatics that serves to support the lecturer in the lecture hall and as a self-study tool for the student. The reasoning behind the creation of this application is as follows: currently, there is no application on the market, which is equipped with a navigational system to guide the student through this subject matter, which has a system for self-assessment, and a system to identify those concepts that are of greatest interest or difficulty for the student. The proposed system monitors the time each user spends studying each section, as well as the dates on which each they are studied. Moreover, students are able to monitor their progress in learning the subject matter and identify those areas in which they have to improve. They are also able to simulate any pneumatic circuit in order to check its feasibility or detect any errors. The application has an open, modular structure, which enables changes to be made without its structure being affected. Use of the hypermedia application has supported the tutorial work of lecturers and reduced time spent elaborating on subject matter in the lecture hall, at the same time as facilitating its study.

“…Emerging Internet technologies and international multimedia standards can be combined with educational objectives to provide a wide range of learning activities and accomplishments than traditional lecture-based materials [2]. Interactive teaching and learning via the Internet partially supplements the traditional lecture teaching method by providing an interactive environment similar to the traditional lecture environment but with more attention to individual students needs [14,17].…”

This article presents a survey analysis conducted in and the implementation of a web-based courseware for a graduate-level module on Rapid Response Manufacturing. A courseware website has been developed using HyperText Markup Language, JavaScripts, and Cascading Style Sheets. The website designed is of a hierarchical design. To allow students to navigate easily in this website, a navigation menu that resembled the popular Microsoft Outlook is hence chosen. The website contains course materials, which serve either as introductory materials or pre-class reading materials, and serves to bridge professors and students. The colors scheme and layout used for the website were carefully chosen to achieve a professional look, and the course materials are informative and meaningful. The course materials are presented in an interactive manner using templates created using Macromedia Flash. Using Flash movies, students are able to choose any topic of their choice easily with the click of the mouse. Some animations and mouse rollover effects are also incorporated into the Flash movies for an increased visual experience. The use of dynamic text in Flash movies also greatly improves the way course contents are maintained on the website, allowing the courseware to be easily updated by the lecturers themselves as the materials for the graduate module are updated as technologies in Rapid Response Manufacturing advance. ß 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
