CCP modules, and the CCP site itself, have been designed with careful attention to the educational challenges of the human-computer interface. Design decisions have been made with the goal of achieving optimal learning environments for users, based on studies from education, psychology, skills-training, art & design, and other sources. The following link will take you to a "text" that presents basic principles of interface design in a condensed form that is easy to browse and interesting to explore:

Further background on the CCP's strategies for creating high quality computer-based learning environments can be found in the following papers by CCP authors :
Effective Design of Computer-Based Instructional Materials
Renewal in Collegiate Mathematics Education
The Journal of Online Mathematics and its Applications (JOMA) featured CCP in its December 2001 issue, with a background article by David Smith and Lang Moore, five modules, and a user article by John Hannah of the University of Canterbury (New Zealand). There was also an author/user article in 2002 by Stephanie Fitchett of Florida Atlantic University Honors College. Here are links to these articles and modules:
