Abstract

Internet based teaching is well established under various contexts. WWW based virtual interactive books are used for this purpose. Using WWW browsers students can study such books locally or remotely. Enhanced by Java^TM applets, such books provide an interactive as well as a traditional approach to learning. Examples and exercises implemented as applets cater for both observation and exploration. Such a book, addressing the topic of data structures, is being developed as a teaching aid for a first year Computer Science students. Theory is presented in a hyperlinked textual form thus realising cross references, while examples and exercises are visualised as interactive Java^TM applets.
