To aid the development of tutorials, we've developed a Web-based application that tracks students' progress through the tutorial, guides the student to appropriate curricular content, and collects pre- and post-test data. Each tutorial, along with questions, is organized by educational objectives. The CGI scripts also allow for administration of the tutorials and progress reporting for teachers. We will demonstrate the application and some tutorials.
