Abstract
The paper starts with the discussion of the present way of teaching co mputer simulation and contrasts it with leaching the same subject with the help of multimedia instruments. The practical implementations of the main principles are demonstrated with the help of multimedia teach ing materials, which are PC stand alone applications for teaching comp uter simulation in the fields of mathematical ecology and queuing syst ems. After discussing several technical problems, we discuss how the s imulation software can be extended as well as a simulation language to support multimedia possibilities. Future work will involve distance e ducation applications using computer networks. (C) 1998 IMACS/Elsevier Science B.V.
