基于计算机的教学材料为工程教育提供了巨大的潜力。然而，在成功使用这种媒介时必须解决的一个挑战是克服学生被动接受教学的倾向。特别是在学生与计算机交互的非个人领域，教学材料必须寻求积极参与学生的学习过程。精心设计的软件可以让学生公开参与-例如，要求回答问题，输入计算结果或提示决策-或间接地以更直观的方式，如专业执行的动画序列所揭示的洞察力。本文介绍了交互式学习工具的例子正在开发的材料力学课程。这些学习工具具有动画，图形和交互性，旨在吸引和激励学生，有效地解释和说明课程主题，并培养学生解决问题的能力。学生对这些学习工具的反应以及观察到的学生表现的变化进行了讨论。
Computer-based instructional materials offer great potential for engineering education. A challenge that must be addressed in the successful use of this medium, however, is overcoming the students’ tendency toward passively receiving the instruction. Particularly in the impersonal domain of a student interacting with a computer, instructional materials must seek to actively engage students in the learning process. Well-designed software may engage students overtly – for example, requiring responses to questions, entering the results of calculations, or prompting for decisions – or indirectly in ways that are more intuitive such as the revealed insight of an expertly executed animation sequence. This paper presents examples of interactive learning tools being developed for the mechanics of materials course. These learning tools feature animations, graphics, and interactivity designed to engage and stimulate students, to effectively explain and illustrate course topics, and to build student problemsolving skills. Student reactions to these learning tools as well as observed changes in student performance are discussed.
