Paper Abstract:      The paper presents lessons learned while using multimedia in form of slidecasts and screencasts in engineering education. The paper proves that Technology Enhanced Learning could be relatively inexpensive. According to Dale’s Cone of Experience there is a big need of multimedia in education, also in the field of engineering. Multimedia in the form of podcasts (personal on demand broadcasting) can be very useful as a supplementary tool for lectures and software training, but they have one common drawback – they do not allow two way communication. Presented case studies, showing complete way in which multimedia can be used, are taken from two subjects – Applied Computer Sciences and Computing in Civil Engineering. They include a full set of software animations and multimedia lectures. After analysing the use of podcasts the real point of the paper is presented - a new look at streaming media in which students are asked to perform easier task at home and learn from podcasts independently. This enables to solve more difficult problems during classes. The paper presents results of survey of students’ satisfaction and compares them with similar surveys from United States and Canada.
