Peer reviewedOwston, Ronald D.; Wideman, Herbert H. – Canadian Journal of Educational Communication, 1987
Describes study that compared teacher panel reviews of educational software to field test reports to determine the levels of agreement between the two evaluation types. Methods of evaluation are discussed, the York Educational Software Evaluation Scales (YESES) are explained, and the results of the study of 36 software packages are presented.…

Browning, Mark E.; Lehman, James D. – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1988
Discusses the development and field testing of a prototype genetics tutor program for microcomputers written in Turbo Pascal. A preliminary field test with undergraduates is described that was used as formative evaluation, and suggestions are given for designing a more effective tutor that uses additional intelligent computer-assisted instruction…

Ross, Steven M.; And Others – Educational Communication and Technology, 1985
Discusses design and validation of a teacher-managed model employing programed-type learning materials for teaching college-level statistics which matches context of lessons to student background and interests. Current work in developing and field-testing a computer-assisted model of this type for teaching arithmetic concepts to elementary school…

Peer reviewedTovar, Mariela; Barker, Nicholas – Canadian Journal of Educational Communication, 1986
The summative evaluation of a courseware program designed to assist in writing the lower-case alphabet is described to demonstrate the effectiveness of a field test for answering specific evaluation questions, collecting maximum evidence on which to base conclusions of instructional effectiveness, and being flexible enough for use in normal…

To explore the potential of computer controlled videodiscs for simulating undergraduate science laboratory instruction, the Annenberg/CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) Project funded the University of Nebraska to create and field test six videodisc laboratory experiments, two each in biology, chemistry, and physics. The six discs were…

Henderson, Ronald W.; And Others – 1983
Two field trials were conducted to test the effectiveness of instructional materials, which were presented on an Apple II Plus microcomputer interfaced with a videocassette recorder, in teaching mathematical skills to students who had not made normal progress in mathematics learning. In the first field trial, 58 experimental students from a high…
