Abstract

The development and use of this instructional software tool for the Internet contributes broadly to the increasing sophistication and practical nature of Internet interactive development and programming and specifically to the burgeoning of interactive instructional distance technologies made available by the unique nature of the Internet.

Internet Instructional Aid (IIA) is a software package that utilizes the WEB to teach educational courses online. The purpose of this software-package is to provide an environment in which students can have additional group and individual contact with the instructor and convenient access to prior class lectures and instructional materials. Utilizing Java, the newly developed object oriented programming language, and the current technology of the WEB, IIA provides students and teachers with a effective method for additional communication and learning, at a distance through the widely available browser, Internet Explorer.

At the IIA Internet site, teachers and students can easily access the online class, student database, and previous saved information (e.g., lecture notes from previous classes easily with the graphical user interface). The system can be tailored to suit students’ and instructors' needs through simple revisions.
