The implementation of a multimedia environment

Underlying our approach to the development of a Multimedia Learning Environment (MLE) is the proposition that conventional learning needs analysis, for Computer-Based Learning does not address the richness of delivery possible with MLEs. We propose that knowledge-engineering techniques can provide a richer understanding of the domain, thus enabling a better MLE to be produced. The knowledge-engineering approach we have used, involved acquiring knowledge from a range of sources, then analysing this knowledge so that individual knowledge items could be categorized.
