Varied Self-Paced Micro-Computer Based Instructional Programs for Addressing Individual Differences when Acquiring Different Levels of Instructional Objectives.
Dwyer, Francis; And Others – 1985
The effects of three types of pacing in microcomputer-based instructional programs were examined by evaluating learning competency on five achievement tests ranging in difficulty from memorizing facts to solving problems. Subjects were 100 first-term freshmen enrolled at Ohio State University who completed a microcomputer program on heart…

The Effects of Program Embedded Learning Strategies, Using an Imagery Cue Strategy and an Attention Directing Strategy, to Improve Learning from Micro Computer Based Instruction (MCBI).
Taylor, William; And Others – 1987
The effects of the Attention Directing Strategy and Imagery Cue Strategy as program embedded learning strategies for microcomputer-based instruction (MCBI) were examined in this study. Eight learning conditions with identical instructional content on the parts and operation of the human heart were designed: either self-paced or externally-paced,…

Gwinn, John F.; Beal, Loretta F. – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1988
Describes an interactive computer-testing and record-keeping system that was implemented for a self-paced anatomy and physiology course. Results of exploratory research are reported that focus on student preference for online testing, test anxiety, attitude, and achievement; and suggestions are given for integrating a computer-testing program into…

External Pacing as an Instructional Strategy for the Design of Micro-Computer Based Instructional Programs to Improve Performance on Higher Level Instructional Objectives.
Canelos, James; And Others – 1985
Research was conducted to further investigate the results of an earlier 1985 study (Dwyer, et al.) which found that a moderately externally-paced microcomputer-based instructional program was more effective than either a self-paced or a more aggressive externally-paced condition. Instructional programs (heart parts and verbal labels) were…
