Abstract

The World Wide Web has the potential to revolutionize the field of education. Not only can students have access to virtually unlimited information (text, audio and video), but true interactivity is possible. Using Mallard(TM), educators in virtually all fields have an interactive learning environment which makes writing questions and constructing quizzes a straightforward process. Correction/grading is handled automatically and instantaneously by intelligent grading programs. Administrative utilities allow an instructor to monitor student progress
