Design and implementation of a generalised computer aided learning system

This thesis surveys the development of computer aided learning and outlines the tools that are used for creating computer aided learning systems. A project to create and port over a computer aided learning system from a VAX 11/750 to a PDF model 11/44 based on the UNIX operating system is described. The computer aided learning system makes extensive use of existing software tools available on UNIX and is hence named CALUNIX for Computer Aided Learning on UNIX.
