Attempts to include Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Assisted Learning facilities in a substantial way into undergraduate teaching lead inevitably to a consideration of appropriate (efficient) methods of instruction. A method based on syndication of tasks, used at Ulster Polytechnic, is described. The method has been found particularly useful in teaching System Dynamics and Control.
