EDUCATION FORU M Molasses and Theories of Learnin g My research interests lie in the development of active learning hypertextbooks for the Web . The basic ideas are simple : we are producing teaching and learning resources for the Web that cater to different student maturity levels and learning styles . Active learning is introduce d by way of software modules that accompany all important concepts . As students encounte r new concepts (e .g., nondeterministic finite state automata) in a hypertextbook, they also fin d interactive models of these concepts embedded in context . In the case of nondeterministi c finite state automata (nfsa's), students can run an nfsa model embedded in the text o n provided input, change the input to such an nfsa for a different run, modify a provided nfs a and rerun it, create an entirely new nfsa, build an nfsa for an exercise from scratch that i s compared to a correct answer (with feedback provided) and so forth . In doing this, we naturally want to be aware of what is known about learning, learnin g styles, and evaluation of the effectiveness of learning resources . Not only are these things
