This study examines the effects of Interactive Multimedia instruction upon the variables of achievement and problem solving skills on non‐science majors in an Environmental Science course at a mid‐western university. The findings indicate that the Interactive Multimedia had a significant effect on both of the variables. The findings are discussed in terms of the impact on self‐study when students are learning outside of the classroom in a distance learning environment.
