Brower, Aaron M.; Nurius, Paula S. – Computers in Human Services, 1985
This brief report provides one teaching approach designed to help students and clinicians use the computing facilities available in their agencies to aid their clinical practice, and highlights issues central to this training. The teaching process involves using the computer as a tool, for identifying and operationalizing questions, analyzing data…

Watson, Charles S.; Kewley-Port, Diane – Volta Review, 1989
A taxonomy of computer-based speech training systems is presented, based on the physical source of feedback, standards of evaluation, level and type of detail on which feedback is based, and the form and instructional context of feedback. Reasons for selecting a particular approach are discussed in relation to existing systems. (Author/JDD)

Miller, Bruce Cummings – Library Hi Tech, 1984
A general description of microcomputer-based spreadsheet software capabilities and their usefulness in library management analysis and planning are presented. Five specific spreadsheet models which apply to retrospective conversion cost and scheduling, COM and book catalog costs, and acquistions processing costs are discussed and displayed in…

Bassingthwaighte, James B. – Physiologist, 1985
Teaching and research in physiology encompass increasingly complex notions of the system under study. Computer modeling fosters understanding by extending the ability to formulate, test, and evaluate hypotheses about the system, and to describe experimental data. The exploration of the model system's behavior serves teaching and investigation in…

Computer-Based Speech Training for Profoundly Hearing-Impaired Children: Some Design Considerations.

Bernstein, Lynne – Volta Review, 1989
Design considerations for speech training systems include the types of information about speech to be used in training, whether acoustic or physiologic; and the use of models of speech production, whether partially perceptual and partially knowledge-based or explicit data-based models. A taxonomy of speech training systems is presented.…

Fletcher, Samuel G. – Volta Review, 1989
The paper describes dynamic orometric instrumentation and procedures developed to measure, display, and guide changes in vowel and consonant production through visual articulatory modeling and feedback routines. Sensors are placed in the mouth to detect tongue shapes, positions, and actions during speech of hearing-impaired talkers, and online…

Smeltzer, Dennis K. – Educational Technology, 1984
INSTAN, a computer program designed to aid in appropriate media selection for classroom teaching, comprises three interrelated sections which focus on instructional objectives, the instructional environment, and instructional material selection. INSTAN is not described as an all-inclusive media selection model, but as a paradigm for further…

Goddard, William A., III – Science, 1985
The expected thrust for theoretical chemistry in the next decade will be to combine knowledge of fundamental chemical steps/interactions with advances in chemical dynamics, irreversible statistical mechanics, and computer technology to produce simulations of chemical systems with reaction site competition. A sample simulation (using the enzyme…
