Wachter, Renee M.; Gupta, Jatinder N. D.
Computers & Education, v29 n1 p13-23 Aug 1997
Examines whether the technological development of expert systems can be achieved successfully by students in distance instruction, and differences between distance learning and traditional campus education. Results suggest that not only can successful systems development be achieved but that the hands-on aspect of systems development contributes to increased student attention, learning, and sense of achievement.
