Abstract

In general, Computer Aided Learning (CAL) is the term given to software applications in which a computer is used to partially replace the function of a human instructor in the education or training of a learner/student. CAL is not limited to a particular field in education or constraint to a specific subject matter. The primary goal of CAL is to convey pre-defined theory/concepts to student so as to allow him/ her to understand and apply gained knowledge at work place. A CAL application offers the student a structured method of obtaining information as well as using the computer as navigational and information retrieval medium. CAL can therefore be thought of as a front end to a large information database. Early CAL packages offered the user information in the form of pages of text only. As technology evolved, applications started to present information using a wide range of media formats, including high-resolution graphics, narration, and even interactive video (Marshall, 1988). Hence the combination of one or more electronic media is subsequently known as multimedia.
