Connors, Edward A. – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 1995
An interactive, multimedia text for calculus instruction that contains the entire contents of a corresponding textbook is evaluated and found to have features that enhance concepts with dynamic examples of graphs and problems that make good use of animation, audio, and video. Its design accommodates diverse student abilities and educational…

Owens, Peter – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 1992
Advances in multimedia and video technology have made more sophistication in educational software almost necessary, requiring complex team authorship and production considerations. Colleges and schools can be active in software development and perhaps keep software production down to earth. The transition will be expensive and require many and…

Wills, Sandra; McNaught, Carmel – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 1996
Discussion of evaluation of computer-based learning (CBL) looks at six different approaches: use of quantitative data for assessment; student and staff attitudes and perceptions of computer use for learning; formative evaluation for CBL design; effectiveness of CBL in comparison to conventional instruction; evidence of whether CBL enables students…
