Home-Page	WebSteer's Workbench

The Workbench supports the loading and execution of an arbitrary set of applets. It detaches the applets from an HTML page and aggregates them over a common interface area. The figure above shows the Workbench loaded with the Segment Calculator, an instrument used in the courseware Learning Real Numbers. While the user can interact directly with the instrument's graphical user interface (GUI), some of its functions are triggered by the interaction of the user with the Slide Projector. For instance, the link Example: Formula for the Distance (underlined in the figure at Slide Projector's page) enables an specific mode of operation (calculate the distance between two points) of the instrument.
