Abstract

A live demonstration by the authors will show how to use the Internet and freeware/shareware software (NetMeeting) to facilitate the use of computer simulations (DOS or Windows based) as an integral part of a distance learning class without having to make exotic changes to the simulation programs. Participants in the demonstration will be located in at least three states.
