Abstract	This paper reports on the development of an on-line course in Engineering Statics. This course is part of a larger effort, supported by the William and Fl ora Hewlett Foundation through Carnegie Mellon's Open Learning Initiative (OLI), to create and sustain fr eely available, cognitively informed learning tools desi gned to provide a substantial amount of instruction through the digital learning environment. Being available to b oth individuals and to institutions, the course is inte nded to increase the number of learners and to support instructors with high quality content and pedagogic al design. To access Engineering Statics course use O LI website, http://www.cmu.edu/oli/, click on the Engineering Statics logo, and on the following page click on "Open & Free Version". The course builds upon the ongoing work of the authors to reorganize instructi on in this subject to better address the conceptual chall enges students face. Each of the approximately sixteen modules comprising the course is based on carefully articul ated learning objectives. Each module contains some expository text and a substantial variety of exerci ses and simulations; these activities capitalize on the com puter's capability to promote interaction, and to display d igital images, animations, and video. Student learning is supported through frequently interspersed "Learn by Doing" activities, which offer hints and feedback. Summative "Did I Get This" interactive assessments signal to students whether objectives are met and o ffer scaffolding when appropriate. Through its various activities, the course is interactive and self-corr ecting by providing feedback not only to students, but also t o instructors.
