Instructional Design Rules for Algorithmic Subject Matter.
Schmid, Richard F.; Gerlach, Vernon S. – Performance Improvement Quarterly, 1990
Discusses the role of algorithms in the design of computer-assisted instruction (CAI). Structural and processing characteristics of algorithms are analyzed, instructional algorithms are explained, empirically based design rules are presented, and the use of instructional algorithms in artificial intelligence is described.

A Taxonomy for Computer Software Adoption Policy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Peled, Zimra; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1992
Proposes a taxonomy to aid decision makers in selecting computer software consistent with their educational values regarding the nature of instruction and the use of information technology, based on beliefs about human development and learning. Characteristics of instruction, properties of software, and the congruence between them are discussed.…
