-levelengineering courses?This paper examines the need and effectiveness of online homework for upper-level engineeringcourses as well as the difficulties in creating such a product. The experiences and outcomes of ane-learning company, Sapling Learning, that developed commercial online homework for thesecond year chemical engineering course, Material and Energy Balances are presented.Because online homework in the engineering fields is a rarity, some background is required tounderstand how Sapling Learning began developing online chemical engineering homework. In2008, Sapling Learning began developing textbook-independent homework and sold the productdirectly to instructors and universities to be paired with any textbook. “Technology T.A.’s” atSapling

animation is used to describe the process of reading resistor values in our linear circuitanalysis textbook. The animation describes the dynamic process of reading resistor band valuesfrom left to right to determine the total value of the resistor. Figure 5 shows the beginning,middle, and end of the animation. Figure 5. The animation ‘Reading resistor values’ describes the dynamic process of reading the color bands of a resistor to determine the resistor’s value.4.2 Chemical EngineeringOur material and energy balances textbook uses an animation to walk readers through theprocess of balancing a chemical reaction. Figure 6 shows how the animation progressivelyunveils information to obtain the final balanced equation. Figure 6
