With the availability of a variety of software for multimedia development and CD‐ROM mastering and the growing capabilities of the hardware for personal computers, there has been a significant increase in interest in the development and production of multimedia modules for education. In this article we briefly highlight some of the multimedia CD‐ROMs developed by the CAEME Center for Multimedia Education and Technology. The tradeoffs involved in these developments are highlighted and procedures for enhancing students interactivity in using and learning from these lesson are described. More recent research and development efforts by CAEME to use virtual reality technology in education are also discussed. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
