recent research related to multimedia computer-based instruction(CBI) found to affect usability: (1) prior subject matter learning, (2) experience with CBI, and (3) learning style(Ross and Weise Moeller). Kolb Learning Style Inventory(LSI) tests from McBer and Company will be performedto assess the students learning style (Kolb, 1984). Past assessments of the correlation between learning style andthe effectiveness of videodisc instruction in data communications(Larson, 1992) and nursing(Billings and Cobb,1992) did not demonstrate a strong link between learning style and effectiveness. However, no similar studies havebeen undertaken for scientific or engineering educational material (Ross & Weise Moeller). The results will becorrelated with
