Petrovic, Dus?an; Zlatovic´, Mario – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
A homology modeling laboratory experiment has been developed for an introductory molecular modeling course for upper-division undergraduate chemistry students. With this experiment, students gain practical experience in homology model preparation and assessment as well as in protein visualization using the educational version of PyMOL…

Rawlins, Phil – Mathematics in School, 1991
The quadratic function can be modeled in real life by a suspension bridge that supports a uniform weight. This activity uses concrete models and computer generated graphs to discover the mathematical model of the shape of the main cable of a suspension bridge. (MDH)

Case, Karl E.; Fair, Ray C. – American Economic Review, 1985
The macroeconomic model in Ray C. Fair's textbook, "Specification, Estimation, and Analysis of Macroeconometric Models" (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1984), has been programed to run on a personal computer. The model consists of 128 equations. The model's potential for use as a teaching tool is discussed. (RM)

Schenk, Robert E. – 1980
Intended for use with college students in introductory macroeconomics or American economic history courses, these two computer simulations of two basic macroeconomic models--a simple Keynesian-type model and a quantity-theory-of-money model--present largely incompatible explanations of the Great Depression. Written in Basic, the simulations are…

Urken, Arnold D. – Teaching Political Science, 1986
Describes the use of an instructional module used to introduce college students to a combined mathematical modeling and normative analysis approach to the investigation of public policy issues. The module, which was designed to bridge several courses and combined independent work with discussions, was judged to be successful in promoting…

Thomas, David B.; McClain, Donald H. – AEDS Journal, 1979
Outlines a model that will help teachers perform the prerequisite activities necessary for the specification of a microcomputer system that will meet present and future instructional computing needs. (Author/IRT)

Tessmer, Martin; Jonassen, David H. – 1988
This paper describes a design model presented in workbook form which is intended to facilitate computer-assisted instruction (CAI) software design by teachers who do not have programming experience. Presentation of the model is preceded by a number of assumptions that underlie the instructional content and methods of the textbook. It is argued…

Taylor, Peter – Economics, 1985
Two computer programs that simulate the multiplier and accelerator processes are described. The simulations can be used in college-level economics classes or by pupils using their own personal computers at home. Very little knowledge of programing is required to implement the simulations. (Author/RM)

Evans, John Frank; Pritchard, Ruie Jane – 1995
The study reported in this paper argues for a process model of postsecondary instruction where reader-response literary theory in general, and L. Rosenblatt's transactional theory specifically, provides a theoretical framework for strategies which use computers to teach postsecondary English. The paper begins with an examination of the historical…

Miller-Souviney, Barbara; Souviney, Randall – 1987
This guide discusses how a computer can motivate students, how it can be used as a support for the writing process, and how it can help teachers reinforce good writing habits. The guide includes sections on managing the classroom computer; student scheduling; human resources; introducing the computer; learning editor commands; managing student…

Friedland, James – 1973
Described is the computer simulation program "PH." The program consists of three different laboratory investigations dealing with the pH specificity of enzymes. The purpose of the program is to enable tenth- to twelfth-grade students to determine a possible explanation for pH specificity in an experimental, but mathematical, fashion.…

Taylor, Peter – Economics, 1985
The principle of the multiplier-accelerator interaction is explained, and how a computer program to model it can be developed is shown. A series of simulations that can be used to explore the model's behavior are suggested. The simulations can be used in college-level economics classes. (Author/RM)

Haines-Young, Roy H. – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 1983
A computer model which simulates nutrient cycling helps students understand the pathways which elements follow. Examples of exercises which are designed to develop a more critical awareness of the literature dealing with nutrient cycling in ecosystems and a deeper understanding of the scientific method are discussed.

Latham, Glenn – 1982
A review of the literature on technology and delivery of service to handicapped students in rural areas, and a sizeable appendix containing abstracts and articles on media and models are presented. Reviewed is literature on using technology: (1) in education, (2) with the handicapped in rural settings using media such as television and computer…
