Development and evaluation of a web-based learning system for re-conceptualization : basic electric circuits

The aim of this research was to build a web-based learning system utilizing the Rapid Prototyping model as the theoretical framework. This was a means to persuade 18-19 year-old Malaysian university students, to change thier incorrect electrical concepts, for scientific ones. The learning system for...
