Computers provide a powerful opportunity for 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, animation, simulation, sound or photographs. When these are combined with interactivity, a powerful learning environment is created. 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 for civil engineering students. This paper will describe a Computer Aided Learning package intended to introduce students to the environmental degradation of concrete structures.
