Abstract
Web-based live demos were developed to remedy the lack of interaction in most Web-based courseware. These demos were used as supplemental materials for students to reinforce what they have learned in class. Through the interaction with live demos, students are forced to think proactively and to use what they have learned in class to solve problems. Positive feedback from students indicates that Web-based interactive demos help students to understand key concepts and to improve their problem-solving skills.
