Schaumburg, Frank D. – Engineering Education, 1986
Examines shortcomings that are not being fully recognized and addressed. For example, computerization tends to increase analytical precision at the sacrifice of accuracy. In addition, the computer has begun to diminish the art while emphasizing the scienctific elements of design. Possible solutions to these and other shortcomings are offered. (JN)

Lehmann, Winfred P. – IDEAL, 1987
When computers first became available, scholars in the humanities made little use of them. Language applications were introduced by non-linguists. By contrast, numerical applications were pursued widely in the physical sciences, engineering, and business. Only recently have computer languages and hardware been developed for managing human…

Stang, David J.; Levinson, Michael – Media and Methods, 1984
Describes ways of using spreadsheets to maintain gradebooks, including use of weighted scores to calculate a student's running average and potential for use in preparing report cards. Several spreadsheet programs currently available are reviewed, and their advantages and disadvantages for educators are indicated. (MBR)

Ginsburg, Sigmund G. – American School and University, 1985
Sophisticated managers know that reams of data cannot take the place of important information. Planning is necessary to ensure that what is being reported in an organization is necessary and useful and that data are not assembled just because the computer makes it possible. (MLF)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Information Needs, Information Utilization, Management Information Systems
Pogrow, Stanley – ELECTRONIC Learning, 1983
Offers thoughts concerning the difficulties school administrators face in choosing microcomputer equipment and software with technology improving so rapidly. General purpose software and specific applications are discussed, and a checklist of 18 questions for administrators to use during initial inquiries about software packages is included. (EJS)

Edwards, Dan – NASSP Bulletin, 1985
Some computer education goals, such as computer-assisted instruction, are very expensive and difficult to meet. Programing, computer literacy, and word processing are less expensive computer education areas, and programs are easier to implement. (PGD)

Hane, Paula – Online, 1984
This review of public domain software (written by individuals who release programs for free copying and distribution) focuses on disk utility programs which deal with the manipulation of files on disks (finding, moving, changing, viewing, organizing, storing). Sources for identifying programs and three addresses for software distribution are…

Davenport, Paul – CAUSE/EFFECT, 1990
The common campus dilemma of decreasing or distributing central information systems (IS) resources while pursuing development of mission-critical systems that will require increased central IS support is discussed. Areas in which such increased support is needed are outlined, and the need for leadership is described. Specific steps are suggested.…

Dillmann, Clifford Roger – New Directions for Community Colleges, 1984
Proposes the use of microcomputers in behavioral science courses as a writing, evaluating, and calculating tool; an individual instruction tutor; and an inexpensive and nontime-consuming environment for observation and experimentation. Looks at ways the microcomputer can be used by students and instructors, implementation considerations, and…
