I am using CogLab this term and I like it. The students have to pay for an
access code (I think about $10 - check with your rep). You can't modify any
of the experiments, and the data is kind of difficult to access (though,
after using Mellab disks, it's much easier that putting disks in and out of
a computer). However, nothing needs to be downloaded. PsychExp is free, but
the students download Authorware. I know that this shouldn't be a problem,
but our tech guys on campus go loony when students start downloading
software onto campus computers (they would have to load it on each machine
for me, etc.).
For General Psych, I would recommend taking a look at the Dushkin website
for Pettijohn's textbook. There are nifty survey questions and some really
good exercises (for example, one that does correlations, central
tendencies, etc. There are many good websites for intro textbooks, but I
must say, this is my favorite.
