Maja: a way to design multimedia/hypermedia software to teach engineering

The actual research in educational software involves, in engineering, multidisciplinary teams. These teams create common languages in order to obtain products that can solve the problems that the teams are trying to solve. In this work we present developments we are using in our University and the things that these developments have solved. Our work is based on our and other experiences in the design of software for education. Software should solve problems that normally do not appear in the creation on enterprise, business or industrial software. This paper proposes a methodology and a tool for work. The development proposed and its theory permit creation of multimedia/hypermedia software to work in an independent or in a web based environment. Their theory completes a way to coordinate the different persons involved in the real development of that type of software.
