  abstract =     "This paper outlines a methodology to improve the
                 performance of the weakest students through networked
                 hypermedia and in-class exercises. These efforts are an
                 outgrowth of experiments using networked hypermedia in
                 the form of the World Wide Web (WWW) as the basis for
                 networked courseware [1-4]. While initial approaches
                 significantly enhanced the performance of the average
                 and best students, there was no noticeable gain in the
                 performance of the weakest students [4]. They continued
                 to come into class without preparing and expected to
                 somehow condense the learning process into five
                 55-minute sections every two weeks. In order to enhance
                 the performance of these students, a series of
                 procedures were developed that should increase their
                 performance while minimizing any negative impact on the
                 rest of class. The first procedure uses a networked,
                 Common Gateway Interface (CGI), form-based Student
                 Response System to enhanced communications and
                 expectations between the student and professor. The
                 Student Response System automates the grading of
                 homework assignments, and as a result, facilitates
                 nightly homework assignments without increasing the
                 grading load on the professor. The second component of
                 this methodology involves developing a series of
                 graded, in-class, group exercises that can be easily
                 graded in-class, represents a substantial portion of
                 the final grade, and requires a public presentation of
                 the group's results. Together, these tools and
                 practices form a methodology for reaching the weakest
                 students and enhancing their performance.",
