.
Please note, that this multimedia case publication includes several open source, customizable spreadsheet (i.e. active code) templates in MS-Excel. (A Summary of the Key Features of our Multimedia Library).
Assuming that you have MS-Excel, or a compatible spreadsheet tool on your machine, all you have to do is to click on these links, then the spreadsheet template becomes active, and then you can use it as a tool to calculate with your input data. These programs offering excellent opportunities for professional development, for educators and students to learn and employ our techniques.
Many of the Library Cases discuss and teach the methods and the principles how these active code spreadsheet programs work, other Cases just offer them for use and refer to those cases that explain their algorithms in detail. This way redundancy is minimized.
The purpose of these generic, customizable, open source active code templates is to provide software tools for one, or more of the following:
- Self test/ post test/ evaluation: included in this case as an executable template, and
- Course grading templates: included in this case as an executable template for distance learners, teams, and team managers who are responsible for managing learning/ educational activities and have to evaluate their own, or other learners' knowledge level in a particular field of interest.
To summarize, our user-friendly active code templates in this case add analysis, and evaluation opportunities to our Library, with 3D interactive objects, and video clips.

System Requirements: In order to run this electronic book in multimedia format, you will need a Multimedia Mac, or PC or Linux Compatible computer. Use a 300 MHz CPU or faster, and 16 bit, 800 x 600 dpi, or better screen resolution. Runs off-line and/ or on-line the web using a web-browser and QuickTime ver. 4 or later FREE.
In other words, you can run it off-line the Internet, directly read by your browser from the CD as an entirely self-contained program, or enjoy the hot-links to various Internet resources if you are on-line . (Works well in wireless Internet/ intranet environments too!). This combines the best of both worlds, meaning fast local CD access speed and the latest information over the net. (Please note, that this CD is frequently updated).
