Development of interactive web-based tutorials for chemical engineering undergraduates [electronic resource] / Cular, Stefan. [Tampa, Fla.] : University of South Florida, 2005. eng ABSTRACT: This thesis presents the design, creation, and testing of a web-based tool for generating interactive web-based problem set assignments. In prior research (Stetka, 2001) it was shown that students enjoyed interactive problems. In this research, multiple programming languages were used to provide a web-based, fully interactive, problem solving environment for the students.Sample problem sets were written by the author and a few chemical engineering students. These web pages were then used as a basis to test the effectiveness of the web-based interactive problem sets for two engineering courses. Initial findings are presented illustrating the students results along with results of student feedback surveys. Additionally, an analysis of the feedback from the two levels of users, students and instructors are reported and some suggestions for further development are given. Thesis (M.S.Ch.)--University of South Florida, 2005. Includes bibliographical references. Text (Electronic thesis) in PDF format. System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. Mode of access: World Wide Web. ABSTRACT: This thesis presents the design, creation, and testing of a web-based tool for generating interactive web-based problem set assignments.
