De Jong, Andel,Leiblum, and Mirande (1992) reported on the use of computer assisted learning (CAL) in Dutchhigher education in 1991. As a response to a call for participation, descriptions of 442 differentCAL programs that were used in Dutch higher education were received. Most popular usage is inmathematics and sciences, medicine and engineering. The software observations in this study weremainly based on simulation.
