This book should be of value to all those who are considering the
use of or have only just begun to use the computer as a learning
aid, regardless of the educational level and the discipline being
considered. Although the focus is on computer-based instruction in
physics and mathematics at the university- and secondary-school
levels, the strategies and problems are universally applicable. At
the NATO Advanced Study Institute upon which this volume is based,
the obstacles encountered by those engaged in such activities were
similar in each of the eighteen countries represented. Despite many
false starts by those engaged in applying the computer as a
learning aid, we believe unequivocally that the computer presents a
unique educational tool yet to be exploited adequately. The reasons
for slow development may become obvious as one reads this book: the
effort required to achieve measurable success is not trivial.
Extensive planning and team efforts are often necessary.
Unfortunately, many well-intentioned educators discover this too
late. We emphasize very early that it is the opportunity to engage
students as active participants in the learning process which sets
computer-based learning apart from the learning potential of other
electronic media.
