New computer-assisted instruction system for UNIX systems

Abstract

The UNIX Instructional Workbench (IWB) software system is a general purpose computer-assisted instruction facility implemented for the UNIX operating system. The facility is characterized by a small number of abstract structures that support a wide range of courseware designs, and flexibility in using available terminal equipment and software. The INB system provides interactive aids for developing courseware as well as the means to deliver courseware to students.
