| Sumario: | The current study assessed the effectiveness of interactive computer software with 398 community college students. The interactive software was used in conjunction with science courses, and students were provided access to the interactive software through a computer laboratory. Computer time was assessed by gender, race, and course grade. Analysis indicated significant effects for grades and computer time, but there were none for race or gender and no significant interactions. In addition, students were asked to complete a brief rating scale assessing their perception of the computer lab. An over-all positive regard for the computer lab was noted. The results support the effectiveness of computer-assisted instruction when used in conjunction with classroom lecture. Reprinted by permission of the publisher, 1995.
