The function of software such as this is to lead the student behind the facts, figures and names, and bring them face to face with the ‘human dimension’ of the situation. Thus to set them straight to work ferreting through the data, answering questions and filling in work sheets would be a total misuse of the resource.
To prevent this, the teacher needs to ‘set the scene’ so that the students are aware of the society of the day - its attitudes and values, its view of itself and its view of the rest of the world - a daunting task for students who live in an age where air travel is the preferred means of mass international transport and the latest disaster can be viewed the same night while having tea!!
