The project entailed building an interactive tutorial that students can log onto in their own time. They can use this tutorial viewer to proceed through a lesson without having a tutor in the room. We have two applications in Visual Basic. One is the tutor's configuration application: this sets up the tutorials and can also view student scores that we capture and store as part of 'doing' a tutorial. The second application is the one the students use to log on to, and select a tutorial from the list. The tutorial launches several PowerPoint slideshows and asks students a series of questions based on the slideshows. It then updates the scores table based on the answers given.
