Multimedia based medical instrumentation course in biomedical engineering

Computer assisted instruction in education, including biomedical engineering education, has been explored and changed dramatically for more than two decades. The Internet, with its capacity to transmit synchronous and asynchronous audio, text, and graphics, presents educators with tremendous opportunies for distance education and independent learning. In this work, we have developed a new educational hypermedia for medical instrumentation courses. It is designed to be suitable for biomedical and technical curricula where these courses are scheduled. The courseware provides support for the education of medical instrumentation. The work is presented herein to provide multimedia course material with animations to assist learning some key Medical Instrumentation topics on the World Wide Web.
