The Provincial Government of Alberta, in conjunction with the University of
AlbertaÕs Canadian Center for the Development of Instructional Computing,
is pleased to announce the completion of Level 4 Mathematics.  This is a
self-contained full year senior level high school mathematics course
delivered totally online and stored on CD-ROM.

----------------------------------------------------

Level 4 Mathematics CD-ROM is a complete course in grade 12 university
entrance-level math.  The equivalent course, when taught in the ÒnormalÓ
classroom is more than 125 hours of instruction.  The CD-ROM version
occupies just under 60 mb and  runs on any Macintosh with 2.5 mb with
System 6.0.x and 4mb with System 7.x.  It displays on a 9 inch monochrome
screen.

The course consists of 7 units, Polynomial Functions, Exponential Functions
& Logarithms, Sequences, Series & Limits, Trigonometry, Conic Sections,
Statistics and Permutations & Combinations.  Each unit is divided up into
topics (the number of topics in a unit varies) and each topic is divided up
into several objectives.

Students use a menu-driven front end to display a choice of units.  They
select the unit of choice by clicking on it.  This displays a choice of
topics for that parti
on it.  Students can then choose to take a tutorial on that topic or be
tested on it by entering an interactive test bank dealing with that topic. 


In addition to tutorials which are loaded with animated graphics
three-dimensional movies and interactive learning sequences, students have
access to explorers in four of the units,  Polynomial Functions,
Exponential Functions & Logarithms,  Trigonometry, and Conic Sections. 
Explorers allow students to vary the parameters of equations in each of
these units and instantly observe the effects in a graph window.
