With the rapid growth in the use of GIS has come an acute skills shortage. Whilst traditional techniques of education and training based on courses at various levels are being widely exploited, there is special potential in GIS for the use of demonstrators and tutors. Such Computer Aided Learning (CAL) tools offer an effective way of putting across the graphical concepts which are vital to GIS as well as offering an attractive form of self-paced study. This paper discusses the contribution of CAL tools to GIS education and offers a short history of the techniques. A case study of the Geographical Information Systems Tutor (GIST) development is used to illustrate the educational and technical issues behind the creation and use of such a tool
