Abstract

This is a poor example of computer-assisted learning. It is simply an objective test transferred to a computer screen. There is little here that is new or innovative. In fact, this is computer learning at its most mundane: slow, unimaginative, and boring. The highly promoted "Management Module" to allow teachers to monitor students is so copy-protected that it wouldn't even run on the version I had. In two words: Don't bother!
