Abstract

Teaching conceptual and qualitative material effectively while leveraging the contents efficiently has been an elusive goal for many computer-aided learning (CAL) packages in the past. With the advent of newer technologies such as multimedia and virtual reality, these technologies are being researched and applied to various areas of educational settings, especially in science and technology. However the potential of these technologies has not been fully exploited, particularly in the teaching of engineering. In this paper we describe an innovative approach based on the principle of CAL to design and implement an integrated package known as technology assisted problem solving (TAPS) packages, which could guide students step-by-step to complete various engineering mechanics exercises. Some key concepts and development aspects of TAPS packages are also discussed.
