Widder, Mirela; Gorsky, Paul – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2013
In schools, learning spatial geometry is usually dependent upon a student's ability to visualize three dimensional geometric configurations from two dimensional drawings. Such a process, however, often creates visual obstacles which are unique to spatial geometry. Useful software programs which realistically depict three dimensional geometric…

Mose, Douglas; Maney, Tucker – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1993
Examined the effects of a combination of televised instruction and a computer-based communications software that gave students access to a calculator, a word processor, and course specific computer programs on the educational environment of distance learners (n=18). Results indicated increased student/student communication and enhanced learning…
