Abstract

WWW-based coursewares will benefit from libraries of subject-specific software objects that are embeddable in HTML documents. Development of libraries of Java applet programs in various subject areas is timely and important. The developed applet library should enable educators to include these applet programs in their HTML-based multimedia courseware. This paper discusses the development and utilization of Java applet programs in the area of solid state materials and devices. The applet programs developed so far, with the purpose of providing a dynamic visual simulation of solid-state material concepts and device principles, are included in the courseware section
