Drill and Practice-helps students master a skill at their own pace, usually repetitive.
FRS Fraction Master is an easy to use drill and practice program to assist students in learning to identify and understand fractions.

Tutorial- usually assesses the learner's skill, then presents new instruction, gives practice, asks a question and, depending on the learner's response, either remediates by re-teaching, or moves on to the next level.Dance Mat Typing is a free online typing tutorial to help students learn the key board.
Simulation-presents a situation to the learner, the learner makes a choice, and the software responds to that choice by taking one of several paths.
Celestia is a free 3D space simulation application that lets you explore our universe.
