title: An approach to the teaching of host/parasite population modelling.
abstract: Computer-aided learning is considered to be useful in the teaching of host/parasite population modelling. The STELLA programme for the Apple Macintosh microcomputer allows dynamic models to be developed by drawing a diagram of the interactions and then defining the relationships between variables in terms of simple mathematics or as graphs. Our experience in using this programme for project-based teaching is described.
