This project developed an improved help system for DElab, a MATLAB-based educational software package for introductory differential equations. The project team designed a framework for future implementation that integrated concepts from the education literature, experiences of expert teachers, the latest principles of human-computer interaction, and today's best help system practices as exhibited in comparable software. The team provided a sample implementation and guidelines for a future complete implementation.
