• Resumen

  • In this paper the authors describe teaching packages which involve the use of audio‐tape together with a personal computer. These are used in the teaching of the third‐level UK OU mathematics course M371: Computational Mathematics, and M372: Numerical Methods for Differential Equations. The script design principles were derived from those that have been developed over many years at the OU for the composite point ‐ audio medium. Here, the authors explain the creation of the new packages: the rationale for the composite medium, the structure of the packages, the teaching strategies and the close liaison required between the academics, the programmers and the audio producers in order to implement the ideas successfully. It is argued that these methods could be adapted to other areas of mathematics and indeed to non‐mathematical subjects. (This paper is an expanded version of a paper by Daniels and Koumi (1992).)
