Kirkwood, Margaret; Sharp, Bob; de Vito, Giuseppe; Nimmo, Myra A. – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2002
Describes a CD-ROM version of a basic course in exercise physiology that was developed in the United Kingdom to overcome problems of staff time, expense, ethical considerations, and large student numbers. Compares it to a traditional course and concludes that adding more active learning approaches to the CD-ROM would enhance student learning. (LRW)
