Abstract :
This paper discusses the development of a multimedia, PC-based, hydro-electric power generation system simulator to interface, via real-time data acquisition and control, to programmable logic controllers. The project is ongoing. The paper discusses the simulator design and operational modes. It also discusses lessons learned in this rapidly evolving area of advanced instructional technology. A World Wide Web page was created that contains additional material showing the user interface
