Computer based learning units for science and math for secondary schools

Author(s): Bork, Alfred; Franklin, Stephen; Trowbridge, David; Feibel, Werner; Kurtz, Bary; Blum, Ruth von; Chioccariello, Augusto | Abstract: This paper describes a development, over approximately five years, of a highly interactive graphic set of computer based learning materials, primarily focusing on middle school and high school, and concerned with science topics, with a few mathematics issues included. The material was developed in two separate projects, one supported by the National Science Foundation, and one supported by the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education. The materials, although probably most, useful in secondary schools, are usable with a wide range of users. Thus we believe that most of these modules will be usable in adult education situations too.
