[IAEP] Comments on David Kokorowski, David Pritchard and "Mastering" Educational SW

[Greg Smith]

Hi All,

Does anyone have experience or comments on the educational work of David
Pritchard and David Korokowski, MIT Physicists?

They created the Mastering Physics (and other subjects) software:
http://www.masteringphysics.com/site/index.html

Its commercial SW focused on College level learning and its uses what they
call a "Socratic" method of learning (possibly related to sophistry). See
some of their papers here:
http://www.masteringphysics.com/site/results/index.html

I'm interested in feedback for my own edification but thought it might also
generate some discussion on the best educational tools for Sugar/XO.

Thanks,

Greg Smith
