  • Abstract
    As a child, did you learn how to walk by taking a walking class? No. Children learn by doing. Then why force them into passivity in school? Properly designed educational software on multimedia computers supports active participation and puts the student in control. Such software demands the right teaching architecture, as explained here.<>
