Copeland, Peter – 1988
The various criteria upon which interactive video courseware can be judged are outlined. The criteria relate to the critical areas of program usage, content, interactivity, production, presentation, design, and programming. The mnemonic HICUPPP is introduced to describe seven key areas that categorize criteria which can be used to evaluate…

Marshall, Gail – Computing Teacher, 1993
Shows how guidelines from Robert Pirsig's "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" can be used to evaluate computer-based projects in the schools. Guidelines include caring about the project, viewing it from the perspective of the specialist and the common person, and being systematic in approach. (KRN)

Fletcher, J. D. – 1987
The methodology and results of cost-effectiveness evaluations of computer based instruction used in military training are discussed. Methodological issues center on decisions about what cost elements and what effectiveness measures should be included, and how they should be combined. Preliminary results suggest that, in general, computer based…

Robinson, Nick – Simulation/Games for Learning, 1984
Requirements for the games and simulations available in economics education surveyed range from simple equipment to computer facilities. Some attempts at game and simulation evaluation are summarized and criticized in general and in the context of economics education. Comments on the evolving literature on principles of game design are included.…

Davis, Richard – NSPI Journal, 1979
Discusses such potential uses for the computer in employee training programs as management support for training and performance, training project control, improved design and development methods, training program implementation and delivery, and program evaluation, revision, and maintenance. (JEG)
Descriptors: Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Managed Instruction, Educational Development, Evaluation Methods
Rettig, Michael – 1987
Research on the use of computers with young handicapped children is summarized. Much of the literature on the topic, it is noted, is speculative; few students are technically sound. Findings are briefly reviewed in terms of the amount of time spent using the computer, social and free play choices, software selection preferences, amount of teacher…

Chambers, Jack A.; Sprecher, Jerry W. – Communications of the ACM, 1980
The use of computers to assist in learning situations is reviewed on an international basis, evaluation studies and costs are examined, and critical issues are analyzed as they pertain to hardware, software, and courseware development. Recommendations are offered for educationally cost-effective uses of computer-assisted instruction. A 67-item…

Fons, Robert P.; And Others – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1989
Discussion of educational software evaluation strategies for effective computer-assisted instruction highlights CLOPPE, a software evaluation form that enables the previewer to analyze the software's objectives and to determine where it can be effectively integrated within the curriculum. The importance of subjective evaluation is emphasized. (28…
