Abstract

Interactive multimedia learning environment is being proposed for development as a learning/teaching aid for biomedical engineering students. Multimedia has attracted increasing attention from all walks of life. It has been proved that multimedia has great impact on educational and industrial development. In this study, some descriptions about Computer Assisted Learning (CAL), are given and some tools used in this area are explained. Together with the developments in the area of distance education technologies this study can be introduced as a cost effective alternative solution for developing countries in lack of expert teachers and didactic resources.
