  abstract =     "Developing a learning supplement to support the
                 breadth-first computer science curriculum and taking
                 advantage of emerging technologies to provide
                 interactive, demand-driven simulations which enhance
                 comprehension of abstract concepts in computer science
                 resulted in the PACER (Personally Active Computing
                 Exploration Resource) project. Development of this
                 educational tool includes three fundamental objectives:
                 simulation and experimentation, connection to
                 supplementary information, and delivery to a wide
                 audience across multiple computer platforms. All three
                 objectives are required to support the educational
                 demands of students who struggle with difficult
                 theoretical material, seek access to information
                 round-the-clock from home and work and use a variety of
                 computer platforms. The PACER system meets learners'
                 needs of repetition and visual simulation of complex
                 ideas. It also offers the ability to pursue education
                 from remote locations making accessible resources never
                 before available. The interactive design of PACER
                 encourages self-directed learning. It also challenges
                 and supports commuting adults, students with
                 disabilities, and traditional students to pursue fields
                 of quantitative reasoning. Unlike traditional WWW-based
                 learning environments, the PACER pages support
                 interactive learning sessions as well as simulations
                 with animation capabilities. The hierarchical
                 organization of Web pages allows the PACER system to
                 have learning modules that are inter-linked which in
                 turn supports ``demand-driven'' learning. This feature
                 allows PACER to be an active learning tool.",
