Designing a computer-aided-learning application using multimedia to train inexperienced building surveyors in building pathology

Computer aided/assisted learning (CAL) systems aim to provide learners with both a rich set of learning resources and tools to help them navigate through such structures. The advent of high quality graphics and multimedia has enabled learning styles that were previously impractical to be developed and supported by state of the art CAL systems. This paper concentrates on how multimedia can be used as a computer-aided-learning medium in training inexperienced surveyors in building pathology.
