Dr. Appling's research activities involve development of new materials and methods to improve both instruction in science and the study skills of science students. He has explored the ability of students to learn science using various technologies including CD-ROM, the Internet, as well as in-class computerized tools. Dr. Appling is co-author of Discover Chemistry, an interactive learning program for general chemistry. His recent research has focused on the success and retention of underprepared students in science and engineering.
