IMPORTANT FEATURES OF TOOL
--------------------------

This tool possesses the power and versatility of high-level 
programming languages. The Interface Builder toolkit allows 
quick assembly of professional looking user interfaces. The 
modular nature of Objective-C organizes programming, reduces 
programming errors, and allows for easier reusability of the 
programming code and objects.

WHO WOULD USE THIS TOOL?
------------------------

Instructors, programmers, or multimedia developers who are 
already familiar with C or HyperCard programming

HOW DOES THE TOOL SUPPORT EFFECTIVE TEACHING AND LEARNING?
----------------------------------------------------------

Interface Builder is good for tackling hard to visualize 
principles (e.g., mathematics, physics, comparative anatomy) 
because of its high speed graphics 
and intuitive user interfaces.
