A computer aided teaching course on corrosion of concrete structures

Abstract

Computers provide a powerful opportunity fbr the development of teaching materials. They provide a rich interactive environment to stimulate and engage the student. The advent of computers with multimedia capabilities allows the constructor of teaching materials to show the student material from many sources; text, chart, audio, video, animal ion, simulation, sound or photographs. When these are combined with interactivity, a powerfitl learning enviroimient is created [1]. There is currently no CAL(Computer Aided Learning) or CBT(Computer Based Training) material available on the subject of corrosion and corrosion protection in concrete structures fbr ci\ ii engineering students. This paper will describe a Computer Aided Learning package intended to introduce students to the environmental degradation of concrete structures. © 1996 by NACE International.
