Development of a multi-media based teaching programme to support a first year electronic engineering teaching laboratory

The introduction of multimedia as a tool to aid teaching has opened up interesting areas for research. Some of the concerns include the use of screen displayed materials, how the machine communicates with users and how efficiently users learn from the system. In this project we focus on supporting laboratory work. Also, the system is designed for a bilingual presentation which can be tailored for the special environment of Hong Kong. This paper investigates the basic techniques used to build the system.
