Multimedia encyclopedias and electronic Books.

• Huge database with full text, still images, animation, audios and video are stored in Multimedia encyclopedias. When students wants to search with vast content, they should have access to this software and even downloading the relevant data for their compositions and presentations.
• Electronic books primarily present textual information for reading, but are supplemented with other types of multimedia information(sounds, spoken words, pictures and animations).

Students can use this electronic book as a t tutor to learn reading, spelling and word skills.

Integration with the lesson.

Teachers preparation is a must for this kind of software, as they often do not teach directly 'teach'. Teacher remain passive waiting for their student to interact with them.. Therefore it is important for the teachers to plan very carefully before using the software in the lessons.

• Teachers may demonstrate the various ways to search information.
• Teachers may usethis software in order to increase the effectiveness of the lesson.
• Teacher should provide questions which are answerable by the students. Questions can be of low-level('find') and high-level('synthesis').
• Teacher can assign topics for groups to do research by searching information stored in the software.
• Teachers may conduct follow up of the work.

Problem Solving

Cognitive Strategies are taught to the learners and therefore Problem solving software is sometimes associated with the cognitive learning Theory. It is defined as a more complicated and sophisticated type of learning and it cannot be compared to drill and practice exercises. In this case, student's can learn and improve their problem solving skills And problem solving requires certain inputs which does-not include simple memorization.

The main merit of Problem solving strategy is that it will promote learner's higher-order thinking skills like logic, reasoning, pattern recognition and strategies..

As learner's go on interacting with this kind of program, they gradually move from simple 'trial and error' to more logical and systematic thinking process.

Problem Solving software is similar to the simulation software where learners are placed in a situation where they often need to manipulate variables.

Integration with lessons.

• In this program, the teacher should provide student's learning goals and a work schedule, and allow students the ample time to explore and interact with the software. 
• Initially the teacher must demonstrate the the problem solving procedures and then h/she should seek other different methods to solve the same problem using the software.
• Teacher may let students to use the software in pairs of small groups and them to share the strategies they have used.
• Teacher may need to transfer activities(i.e, excluding computer) or use pen or pencil tests.
