ABSTRACT
Interactive instructional computer software and pedagogical models are
offered to students in an open classroom setting. This setting is a
reform to the traditional college algebra classroom. Rather than
traditional teacher centered lecture methods, class material are
presented in StudyWorks files. The use of this type of technology
engages students actively in the material. It encourages conceptual
learning rather than the rote use of formulas and algorithms.
