extensive on-line help system, giving examples of the commands aswell as a brief description. There is a low priced student edition which contains the complete kernel and manyof the library routines. By using its built in programming language, instructors can construct fascinating,optionally interactive, examples to further involve students in mathematical concepts. Its graphing capabilities.along with the incorporated word processor, makes it easy for students to write reports on their mathematicalwork while doing the actual calculations. The role of the teacher changes, from teaching rote to showing how to get to the essentials of theproblem. Much of the teacher’s effort in the standard curriculum is concentrated in teaching the line-by

Students can then see for themselves how the motor torque increases so as to maintainspeed when loads are applied. They can also repeat the experiment with different controllergains in order to observe how this affects the resultant closed-loop behavior.6. ConclusionAdvances in low-cost target hardware, and automatic code generating software tools provide anopportunity for educators to engage students in challenging embedded system applicationswithout the traditional difficulties associated with low-level hardware programming.

Literature reviewWeb-based instruction has been defined as: “…a hypermedia based instruction program which utilizes the attributes and resources of the World Wide Web to create a meaningful environment where learning is fostered and supported.”1The most important aspect of web-based instruction, also called web-based training is thatinformation is disseminated through the use of the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW).Web based training is actually a specialized form of online education which is defined as, “…any form of learning/teaching that takes place over a computer network”. This type of activitycan take place on any type of network, from an intranet to the World Wide Web.2According to educator Andy Carvin

The class also supported the idea of understanding the relevance of analgorithm before the start of programming as the average score was 3.25. The importance of visualizationfor learning algorithms scored an average of 3.32.
