Abstract: Advances in computers and multimedia technology have changed traditional methods for learning and skills training. Today, multimedia education has been popular, it can provide an environment where virtual reality can be used to create interactive interfaces and real-time software can monitor every response made by the user. This paper presents an attempt to introduce the concepts of fuzzy set theory and multimedia technology in the design of a virtual reality based educational module. Such a module can deal with uncertainties in the knowledge acquisition, representation and decision making. It provides a powerful educational tool that can assist users in learning and training without actually handling real tools.
