Version 2 interface

Version 2 of the computer coaches for physics online is an effort to improve the student interface as well as introduce a instructor interface so instructors can edit and even create their own computer coaches. At its core, the version 2 of C3PO is an authoring tool for computer coaches. If you wish to examine the software, please follow these instructions.

1) Download one of the available computer coaches. There are currently links in the previous section to prototype coaches. This list may be changed over time as prototype coaches are added.
2) Follow the link to the beta version of the non-secure software (secure software is available for student use). The student interface is always available. To access the instructor interface, a password is needed. Please email perd@physics.umn.edu to obtain the instructor default password.
3) Load the downloaded coach in the student (or instructor) interface by selecting "File" then "Load". Please select which interface to use before loading. You may also save your progress locally by selecting "File" then "Save" once a coach is loaded.
