title: Developing POPTRAN, a population modelling package.
abstract: "Collaboration between subject matter specialists, computer programmers and educational technologists has resulted in the reproduction of POPTRAN, a computer assisted learning package designed to teach the basic concepts of population studies.  Its evaluation in developing countries, with both naive and specialist users, and subsequent revision, has produced a package of both academic quality and teaching effectiveness."
