Abstract

In this work various types of programs which can be used in a learning and teaching process are analysed. Also the procedure of creating software for CAL is studied and the procedure, that is the most suitable one for developing CAL is suggested here. Also recommended properties of software for teaching and learning medical biophysics are described. General characteristics and types of authoring tools are discussed in this work and a set of authoring tools is described in more details. Conclusions are documented and demonstrated by program Blood Circulation. For development of this program the authoring system Authorware 3.5 was selected. The program is organized as a hypertext with possibility to find words, with a list of the last visited pages, and with an on line help system. This program works with a text, graphics, interactive animated schemes and with interactive equations. In the program it is possible to test the level of knowledge by means of solving problems or multiply choice test.
