Description
Summary:WinEcon was launched at the CALECO Conference in September 1995. It is a comprehensive computer-based learning package in introductory economics, operating in a Windows environment. It is available free of charge to all UK higher education institutions, and on a varying scale of charges to schools and further education institutions in the UK and to overseas institutions. It is being made available on CD-ROM and can be run on a 386SX or higher PC, either free standing or networked. It is very flexible and can be used in a variety of teaching/learning environments. Given the attractive nature of the package, both visually and pedagogically, WinEcon has the potential to revolutionize the teaching of economic principles.
