The use of electric power is essential modern life. However, the public is unaware of the generation of electricity and the power plant. We therefore developed a set of CAI teaching aids on the generation of electricity in order to promote public interest in and attention to electricity. In developing these teaching aids, we assumed that readers have sufficient basic understanding of electricity; they are exposed to this information science course s study at the junior high school level. We used a Power Macintosh 7600/200 (RAM 160MB, HD 2GB) for the hardware and a Hyper Card (Version 2.3) for the software. This set of CAI teaching aids consists of six sections, one on each of the following: (1) electricity generation, (2) hydro generation, (3) thermal generation, (4) atomic power generation, (5) natural power generation such as that of solar and geothermal power, and (6) new power generation such as that of nuclear fusion and fuel cell. The set has 226 photographs and animation to provide clear explanations, and takes up 172.7 MB. Some discussion of various power plants in Fukui, where we live, was also included so that readers can give their attention to a particular area of study. Some effective valuations were obtained by using these CAI teaching aids for students at a junior high school.
