This work starts with a brief overview of education in developing countries, to contextualise the use of the guidelines. Although this document is intended to be a practical tool, it is necessary to include some theoretical analysis of the concept of online assessment. This is given in Sections 3 and 4, together with the identification and…

Computer use at the Central Campus of the University of Houston has increased dramatically. A new computer system ties in with the university's goal of making the Central Campus primarily a research institution. (Author/MLF)

Experiences in introducing computing into schools in Wexford, Ireland, are described. What went wrong is discussed in terms of lack of clearly defined objectives, teacher training, and relevance. Directions for future work and courseware trends are then discussed. (MNS)

Acquaints the reader with the personal computer, emphasizing its use as an aid in the learning process; considers the types of hardware available and software related to educational uses; and offers advice to those just entering this area. (Author)

This document presents guidelines developed by the Association of Computer-Based Systems for Career Information (ACSCI) for integrating computer-based career information systems into the larger guidance or career development program. This guide is intended for counselors and others who assist students and clients at a user site. For purposes of…

Oakland Schools, headquartered in Pontiac, Michigan, is an agency and a resource-providing service. A major service is applying modern computer technology to the education process in school districts. (Author/MLF)

Uses of Apple II microcomputers with special-education students are described. Many such students can overcome handicaps with the computers. Use of word processing, the role of motivation, and individual attention are stressed. (MNS)

Work with microcomputers should be included in the preservice teacher education program. Broadening students' horizons by making them aware of the scope and diversity of worthwhile uses of computers, questions to help them become discriminating, and modeling positive attitudes are each discussed. (MNS)

A unit on the quadratic equation is described. The discovery approach is used and the computer is integrated into the study of mathematics. (MK)

Examples are given of computer activities in analytic geometry. (MK)

A method is described for determining the reading level of materials using a computerized test. (MK)

This reprint of a Project Solo curriculum module discusses graphing by computer, gives an example of a BASIC program used to graph a second degree polynomial, and provides suggested exercises in programing. (MK)

Presents a general introduction to microprocessors and microcomputers. Guidelines for purchasing software and hardware are intended to familiarize potential buyers with the current equipment on the market and the terminology in use. (SA)

Having students try to generate their own random numbers can lead to much discovery learning as one tries to create 'patternlessness' from formulas. Developing an equidistribution test and runs test, plus other ideas for generating random numbers, is discussed, with computer programs given. (MNS)
