Computer Aided Learning (CAL) and Computer Aided Assessment (CAA) in Civil Engineering

S. Millard (2007).  Computer Aided Learning (CAL) and Computer Aided Assessment (CAA) in Civil Engineering. 10.

 

Commercial CAL packages have been introduced to supplement traditional lecture material and encourage Civil Engineering students to take more responsibility for their own learning. Initial experiences were disappointing but when CAL was supported by formative and summative CAA, students engaged with CAL material and examination performance was significantly improved. Development of CAA is ongoing, with implementation of new European design codes.
