How can we use new technology to support and educate the science leaders of tomorrow? This unique book describes the design, development, and implementation of an effective science leadership program that promotes collaboration among scientists and science educators, provides authentic research experiences for educators, and facilitates adaptation…

Chapters in this book include: (1) Courseware Adaptation to Learning Styles and Knowledge Level (Boyan Bontchev and Dessislava Vassileva); (2) Assisted On-Job Training (Claudio Teixeira and Joaquim Sousa Pinto); (3) Self-Directed Learning Readiness Factors in Physicians for Implementing E-Learning in the Continuing Medical Education Programs…

Computers have undoubtedly entered the educational arena, mainly in the areas of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and artificial intelligence, but whether educators should embrace computers and exactly how they should use them are matters of great debate. The use of computers in support of educational administration is widely accepted.…

The purposes of this investigation are to study the uses to which computers have been put in the field of speech communication, to discover the kind of computerized games and simulations developed for use in speech classes, and to suggest some games and simulations which could be computerized for use in the communication classroom. Following a…

This publication was produced as a teaching tool for college chemistry. The book is a text for a computer-based unit on the chemistry of acid-base titrations, and is designed for use with FORTRAN or BASIC computer systems, and with a programmable electronic calculator, in a variety of educational settings. The text attempts to present computer…

This technical report describes the operation of a field plotter and the kinds of geographic problems that the instrument can simulate. The field plotter is an easily operated analog computer which employs the electrically conductive sheet analog to simulate a wide range of physical and human-related spatial phenomena. The diffusion patterns of…

This bibliography provides a classified arrangement of a representative cross-section of the literature in the area of research in instructional media. Nearly 3,500 references are included in such fields as computer-assisted instruction, films, individualized instruction, instructional technology, management of information, mass media, media…

This book contains a snapshot of state-of-the-art research on the design of automated instructional systems. Selected cognitive psychologists were asked to describe their approach to instruction and cognitive diagnosis, the theoretical basis of the approach, its utility and applicability, and the knowledge engineering or task analysis methods…

The nine reports contained in this monograph describe in some detail projects to improve instruction initiated in 1974 at Memphis State University. The initial pages describe the criteria used to select the programs for funding. The nine projects fall into five areas: 1) computer-based instruction; 2) video technology; 3) individualized…

This book, intended to serve as a resource guide for teachers wishing to implement computer-based learning in their own classrooms, is a collection of 29 classroom tested instructional programs designed to supplement an introductory chemistry course, regardless of text or approach. The programs cover a wide range of topics, from metric units of…

Presented are written explanations and critical evaluations of the major teaching practices now being used in undergraduate education. Discussed are both traditional approaches to teaching (lecturing, testing, leading discussions) and new approaches (using a personalized system of instruction, teaching with computers, developing learning…
