Computer-based administrative support tools are having a profound effect on the management of colleges and universities. Several such systems at Stanford University are discussed, including modeling, database management systems, networking, and electronic mail. (JN)

This seven-chapter publication was designed to assist administrators, architects, and engineers in understanding the functions of microprocessor-based energy management systems. The information provided can be used by these individuals to develop an energy management project, select the proper system, and accurately install the system to fit…

The paper describes an automated behavioral rehabilitation system for mentally retarded persons, designed to help staff implement the clinical process. The system consists of three components: client assessment, treatment selection, and treatment plan documentation. (PHR)

The administrative computing operation of Clemson University is discussed. The university's computing history, computer hardware, and computing organization (including the Computer Center, administrative programing services, and information systems development) are described. (MLW)

Describes Truckee Meadows Community College's word processing center, in which students are trained in modern word processing techniques on the same equipment that meets the college's needs for a sophisticated computerized system. Considers equipment, safeguards, advantages, and current and potential uses of the center. (DMM)

The practicum described in this report was intended to develop an effective computer-based procedure for allocating teaching personnel among the 94 elementary schools in the Denver Public School System. The project design was developed by the authors over a 10-month period in cooperation with central office administrators and 12 elementary…

A preventive maintenance system provides for the monitoring and inspection of school building elements in a programmed way through an automatic checklist. Utility cost savings are expected along with reduction of travel and wait time, and measurable standards of performance for all maintenance and repair work. (MLF)

This publication presents performance flow charts and other accompanying forms that are elements of an economical computerized continuing inventory system. The system described here is intended to serve school systems as an adequate fixed asset system and to provide a computerized inventory model that offers support for costs of future educational…

While the idea of reusing objects in digital learning environments is not new, continual strides are being made toward improving the prospects of reusability. A major trend in company training settings is to think of reusability in terms of a LMS (learning management system), but instructor use and pedagogies are little considered. This paper…

This booklet describes the Enrollment and Facilities Projection Program, a computer program package developed as one part of a family of educational management systems. The program consists of three parts, including a means of projecting enrollment, a means of converting enrollment to teacher and facilities requirements, and a means of reporting…

The transfer of an existing computer-based system for dental school clinical administration to another institution in another country is described. Considerable cost and time savings were effected by using an existing system rather than developing a new one. (MSE)

Reports that the Metropolitan Community Colleges (MCC) (Missouri) upgraded their information systems in four years, for less than $7 million. Offers advice based on lessons learned in the MCC process, including: (1) identify implementation leadership among veteran staff; (2) train everyone who will use the system; and (3) test and test again. (NB)

This booklet describes the Registration Management System, an online computer system developed as one part of a family of educational management systems. The system promotes the rapid collection and storage of course enrollment data and student demographic data through the use of remote timesharing computer terminals located at individual schools.…

A system for computer-assisted analysis and assignment of tasks designed for use in administering distance learning programs is also proposed as a model project of research into computer science in education. The aims, design, and initial application of the program are outlined. (MSE)
