Self-regulated learning (SRL) is crucial for helping students attain high academic performance and achieve their learning objectives in the online learning context. However, learners often face challenges in properly applying SRL in online learning environments. Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) applications have shown promise in…

Offers 10 considerations for reading teachers or supervisors who are presenting computer oriented workshops. (RAE)

Experiences in introducing computing into schools in Wexford, Ireland, are described. What went wrong is discussed in terms of lack of clearly defined objectives, teacher training, and relevance. Directions for future work and courseware trends are then discussed. (MNS)

Needs of college of education faculty for computer literacy are discussed. A definition of computer literacy is first given, followed by an example of how it was developed in the College of Education at the University of Minnesota. (MNS)

A description is given of the development of a series of computer-oriented college textbooks with an emphasis on pedagogy and the role the computer plays in supporting that pedagogy. (MP)

Some of the implications and advantages of an instructional approach using results from the calculus of finite differences and finite sums, both for motivation and as tools leading to applications, are discussed. (MP)

Uses of Apple II microcomputers with special-education students are described. Many such students can overcome handicaps with the computers. Use of word processing, the role of motivation, and individual attention are stressed. (MNS)

Four computer programs written in FORTRAN and BASIC develop theoretical predictions and data reduction for a junior-senior level heat exchanger experiment. Programs may be used at the terminal in the laboratory to check progress of the experiment or may be used in the batch mode for interpretation of final information for a formal report. Several…

The implementation of a computer education program in a Hawaiian school is described. The use of the LOGO programing language is central to the program, and teachers' comments on student behaviors and reactions are included. (MNS)

The need to define the role of computers in teacher education is discussed. Topics include planning lessons, evaluating materials, facilitating mastery, learning to diagnose, managing learning, student evaluation, motivation, learning to decide, and knowing content. (MNS)

An elementary computer programing language designed to help the student resolve very basic and specific conceptual difficulties is described. The introduction and implementation of this language in an actual didactic situation is included. (Author/MK)

Included are abstracts of selected papers presented at the National Educational Computing Conference held in Baltimore in June 1983. The nine reports discuss varies computer uses at several levels, and includes a study of children's learning processes and software descriptions. (MNS)

The role of the computer in coordinating the activities surrounding five modes of mathematics instruction is discussed. The modes are: computer-assisted instruction, computer-managed instruction, computer-based simulations, algorithmic exercise solving, and computer-aided problem solving. (MP)

Before the end of this century, it is felt that students may be receiving all of their instruction from computers, with no contact with live teachers whatsoever. However, a new system is promoted that gives teachers new freedom of direction, with computers presenting material and eliminating the petty time-consuming work. (MP)

Topics urgently needed in the preservice teacher education curriculum are discussed: computer literacy, hardware, software, classroom management, and the changing teacher-pupil relationship in a computer usage setting. (MNS)
