The use of Java applets can encourage asynchronous distance learning and thus help overcome the limitations (involving both time and space) inherent in traditional instructional techniques (Kamthan, 1999).

Java applets can help create an interactive environment of "learning by doing".

Some Java applets examples:

@ University of Illinois
@ NCTM & NCEE
@ A Collection of Java Websites
@ Teaching & Learning Math with Java
@ Educational Java Programs
