Certain paradigms have been draws up and, along with them, design elements to be used in the planning and structure of the CheMentor modules

Paradigms

Design Elements

The student should be in control of the learning process ... The software should foster self-questioning on the part of the student ... The software should not impose algorithms upon the student ... The software should provide information for any step in the solution of a multi-step problem ...

The program will wait for the student to take some sort of action ... 'Why?' and 'How?' buttons are included in the help sequences for multi-step problems to provide a rationale for what is being done ... The student can choose help at any stage of a problem ... Each problem is broken down into a series of steps and interactive Help screens are devised for each step
