High technology is transforming the American economy from an industrial to an information base. Outlines ways business educators can incorporate these changes into business curriculum. (MD)

Small rural schools can use telecommunication and educational networking to gain access to information and extend curriculum. Provides a model plan for developing a technology cooperative. (MD)

Discusses the copyright act in general; presents a discourse on three sections of the law especially significant to computer programs (fair use, first sale, and like rights in computer programs); and discusses copying to and from hard disks and library liability with regard to the law's three specific sections. (MBR)

Describes a user-friendly computer program that will analyze the data from one kinetics experiment for 84 different rate laws (sets of partial orders). Information on obtaining the program (written in VAX-Basic and implemented on a VAX-780 computer), its instruction, and related programs are included. (JN)

Discusses computer solutions for factoring problems. Includes listing for (1) a program that multiplies two user-chosen factors (X-R times X-S) and allows subsequent multiplications by more linear factors and (2) a program which computes P(X)/(AX plus B), where P(X) is a user-chosen polynomial and AX plus B is a user-chosen divisor. (JN)

Discusses how LOGO programing language is used in physics teaching at Piedmont Virginia Community College in West Virginia. Also: (1) considers the characteristics of the language which make it attractive in physics teaching; (2) lists sample programs; (3) offers instructional strategies; and (4) presents student reactions. (JN)

Addresses issues related to the use of microcomputers for solving problems. Includes considerations of the impact of software availability, the nature of software for chemical education, general-purpose software, and dedicated software. (JN)

The authors propose three forms of interaction for computer-assisted interactive video: reactive, coactive, and proactive. The three relate to the degree of control that the user has over program content and structure within the capabilities of the technology. Each design is explained at length. (CT)

Discusses the new information possibilities available to educational administrators, pointing out that the most useful role of computers is to provide meaningful data to improve decision making. Outlines a three-phase approach to computerizing school districts. (MD)

Three computer programs are listed for finding binomial probabilities. Other applications and variations are discussed. (MNS)

Lists and describes representative software for Macintosh microcomputers. Included are Apple University Consortium software, word processing software, statistics packages, integrated packages, database management systems, and others. Source of software and costs (when available) are included. (JN)

Describes an experiment which allows students to identify the nature of the time-course for chymotrypsin and to obtain mechanistic information on the two kinetic phases in terms of their concentration dependence. Also describes the computer simulation (available from the author) used in the experiment. (JN)

Shows how to solve the Diophantine equation (x-squared plus y-squared equals z-cubed) with only one literal symbol. Listings of computer programs used in the solution are included. (JN)

Discusses the three domains of learning (cognitive, affective, and psychomotor) and the use of each domain in writing educational objectives for home economics. Also examines elements to consider when selecting software to foster higher levels of learning. (CT)

An efficient division algorithm is developed, using a computer program, to convert any positive fraction to its decimal representation. The computer program listing is included. (MNS)
