‘Playing’ Graphics in the Design and Use of Multimedia Courseware

Another growing area of application of computers in education is the development of Computer Assisted Learning (cal), and more recently intelligent cal. It is only natural that these two approaches should be combined, to make potentially very powerful education systems. This chapter presents the extensive work which has already been carried out in this area in one group in France. The chapter addresses some of the theoretical questions, such as the relationship between the participants: the author, the teacher and the learner, as well as describing tools which have been developed to facilitate die development of courseware.
