Abstract	Abstract ¾ An interactive, multimedia, self-learning toolhas been developed to teach the basic concepts of MATLAB.This tool, referred to as M-Tutor, is available on a CDROMfor individual student use. It was designed to alleviate thetime limitation of learning to using MATLAB in engineeringcourses. But the logistics of delivering, supporting, andevaluating a CDROM-based tutorial in large lower divisionengineering courses can be overwhelming.The approach taken here was to modify M-Tutor to run in aTerminal Server environment to permit internet delivery. Anobvious difficulty with an internet-based tool is assessingstudent progress and performance. This has been addressedby keeping track of both the material accessed and theexercise performance. The instructor can use thisinformation to monitor student progress and identifydifficulties, or it could be used as part of a for-creditevaluation procedure.The paper reviews M-Tutor and its Windows TerminalServer implementation. Focus is on the implementation ofthe method used to assess student progress andperformance.Index Terms ¾ MATLAB, Internet delivered course, StudentAssessment, Computer based instruction.
