LITE APPLETS - August 2002 JOMA Article
Frank Wattenberg, Bart Stewart, Suzanne Alejandre
http://www.joma.org/vol2/articles/wattenberg/JOMA_article/wattenberg1.html
Lite applets produce output that is easily cut-and-pasted
into a spreadsheet or a computer algebra system.
A student can then use the spreadsheet or computer algebra
system to analyze this output. This provides students with
more power and creative control, and it helps them build
general purpose skills.
Through the Javascript and HTML forms interface, curriculum
developers need no formal knowledge of Java to create their
own interactive materials.
The Lite Applet Collection is open source. All the files used
in this article, including the Java source code files, are
freely available.

Submit your own lite applets and modules for consideration
in this collection.
