Sarenpa, Dennis E. – 1982
In this paper a rationale is presented for the formation of teams of college faculty (subject experts), computer programmers, and instructional designers to develop instructional software for use with classroom and laboratory microcomputers. The advent of an "electronic publishing" industry, one of the major products of which is…

Langham-Johnson, Shirley – 1981
This paper predicts that microelectronic circuitry will have an impact on education comparable to that of the industrial revolution or the invention of the printing press. Present conditions influencing educational technology and trends are considered in light of five considerations: (1) recent redefinitions of what educational technology is; (2)…

Olds, Henry F., Jr. – 1982
Microcomputers have the potential to alter the entire learning environment and change the nature of education, but the use of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) methods developed when computers were less readily available can endanger or retard the change. Designed to increase the efficiency of the teaching of course content, CAI makes no attempt…
