ABSTRACT
In the precalculus course that is discussed, students have the option of accessing
interactive web based materials in lieu of attending lectures. They also have the
option of taking daily quizzes in class on over the web. Strategies used to develop
the initial materials, as well as some observations concerning the group worked
associated with the daily quizzes are discussed.
