This report discusses the development and implementation of computer-related teaching materials for undergraduate physics courses. A list of the computer dialogs developed, with a short description of each, is included. The types of dialog are: (1) development of an interactive proof, (2) assistance in problem solving, (3) diagnosing and filling…

Reports a student-computer dialog for beginning or intermediate physics classes. This dialog enables the student to take some initiative in showing that energy conservation in one dimension is a consequence of the laws of motion. (DS)

This paper surveys the types of computer usage, both current and planned, in science education. The authors state that they are concerned not with the scientist with computer experience, but rather with telling those without computer teaching experience about the possibilities and prospects. In their discussion, the authors distinguish at least…
