Since 1992, Project CLEA (Contemporary Laboratory Experiences in Astronomy) has been developing introductory computer-based exercises aimed at the introductory astronomy laboratory. These exercises simulate important techniques of astronomical research using digital data and Windows- based software. Each of the 9 exercises developed to date consists of software, technical guides for teachers, and student manuals for the exercises. CLEA software is used widely at many institutions, and at a variety of setting from middle school to upperclass astronomy classes. The current design philosophy and goals of Project CLEA will be discussed, along with the results of both formal and informal assessments of the strengths and weaknesses of is approach. Plans for future development will be presented. Project CLEA is supported by grants from Gettysburg College and the National Science Foundation
