Abstract

nstructor use. The diverse nature of problem types and student input is described in detail. The system has proven to be an effective replacement to the manual system of maintaining student records that had been used for about 9 years. The new marketing paradigm of selling computer software to individual students is compared with the old paradigm of selling software to instructional units. The impact of the new paradigm on the present and future development of instructional software is discussed.with the Journal for a number of years in various capacities. He founded the Computer Series feature column in 1979 and then founded the Journal's subsidiary publication, Journal of Chemical Education: Software, in 1988. The appointment means that the staff of both the print and software operations will now be under one roof.

The editorial changeover is now in progress: effective July 1, 1996 correspondence and manuscripts for submission should be sent to: J
