tools used to create computer-based content have become cheaper, and,more importantly, easier to use. It is thus prudent to evaluate how these media arechanging students’ academic experience.In prior research [1, 2], we evaluated an instructional CD that is currently included withthe book Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach [3]. In addition to presenting thestudents with text content, tables, and graphs, the CD also includes active learningtechniques such as interactive exercises, graphical modeling, physical world simulations,and exploration [2]. The aspect we were most interested in was how students interactedwith the CD. In a modified version that we provided to students, the CD automaticallyrecorded each student’s interactions in a log
