All components, video-classes, exercises, and tests may be made available on a web site, library computer network, personal memory sticks, etc. Students may use them repeatedly, without any declaration of their problems and at any convenient time. Suggested computer-based assistance is aimed at increase in efficiency of the face-to-face teaching and tutoring at learning centers, higher achievement on examinations, and eventually higher level of professional preparation.
Experience of using the suggested approach at Hostos Community College and selected examples are presented.
Suggested approach is in line with digital books proposed recently by Sony Corporation.
