Several Computer Aided Learning (CAL) nuggets were developed by the centre for the Water Engineering Development Centre (WEDC). The 'nuggets' were developed to assist students with visualisation of physical or technical processes relevant to water engineering. The software was interactive incorporating assessments, animations, simualtions etc to engage the learners.
As many of the students that are enrolled on the WEDC programmes spend a proportion of their study working in a developing country, with limited computer access, each CAL 'nuggets' was designed to fit on a floppy disc and to run on a low specification machine.
The Handpump software includes: anm illustration of the basic handpump elements, a series of animations depicting the operation of a handpump together with synchronous descriptions and a number of interactive review questions. The sofware was developed using Macromedia's Authorware.
