A framework of multimedia E-learning design for engineering training

Abstract

The paper presents a new framework approach for design and development of an interactive multimedia e-learning system for engineering training. The main goal of the paper is to encourage low cost developing of effective and customized e-learning systems for engineering training by using popular and inexpensive software tools. The proposed framework is a generalization of the authors' experience gained in developing of a pneumoautomatics e-training system. It can be used for developing of Web-based on-line or off-line e-learning systems for students or specialists customized training. The proposed framework is illustrated by some screen snapshots and descriptions of operational algorithms. The software realization of the pneumoautomatics example is done by means of HTML and JavaScript languages and was tested and used for students training. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
