Description¶

The article reports that offering OMS materials in several compressed file formats for download, plus CDs, DVDs and VHS tapes on request, supported access to the modeling media. In the discussion the author states that "Provisions such as options for downloading, a variety of file formats, and the availability of CDs and DVDs seemed to be an effective method for supporting the technique." No VHS requests occurred, and demand for CDs and DVDs became equal by semester end.
