Describes the construction and use of a microcomputer-based experimental system designed to examine the role of visual context in the analyses of data displayed in computer graphics. The responses of end users to changes in visual context of business graphics are examined, and future experiments are discussed. (Seven references) (LRW)

Discusses the development and field testing of a prototype genetics tutor program for microcomputers written in Turbo Pascal. A preliminary field test with undergraduates is described that was used as formative evaluation, and suggestions are given for designing a more effective tutor that uses additional intelligent computer-assisted instruction…

Presents a case study of North Dakota State University and its move from a mainframe-oriented campus to one with an integrated mainframe-microcomputer system. Topics discussed include developing a set of standards for microcomputers, developing computer center support, and developing workshops and other programs for encouraging faculty use of…
