ABSTRACT
An interactive instructional computer software model is offered to students
in an open classroom setting. This setting provides alternatives to lectures
and traditional text books for delivering instructional materials. Class
materials are presented in StudyWorks files. The use of this type of
technology encourages conceptual learning rather than the rote use of
formulas and algorithms. It engages students actively in the material and
encourages student experimentation.
