Peer reviewedOisboid, Dean M.; And Others – Computers and Education, 1989
Describes a microcomputer-based simulation for educating teachers in classroom planning and decision-making. The conversion of a card-based simulation to microcomputers is discussed; variables involved in preinstructional decisions, classroom objectives, and managing student behavior are described; and teachers' observed policies are compared with…

Peer reviewedCordell, Barbara J. – Computers and Education, 1991
Describes study of health care employees that was designed to determine whether learning styles affect outcomes of learning with two computer-assisted instruction (CAI) design strategies, linear and branching. Use of the 4MAT Learning Styles Inventory is explained, and implications of the results for educators and courseware designers are…

Peer reviewedReynolds, Sharon B.; Dansereau, Donald F. – Computers and Education, 1990
Explains the combination of hypertext and knowledge maps into hypermaps, and describes a study of undergraduates learning statistical material that compared the effectiveness of using hypertext versus hypermaps. Recall, reference time and accuracy, and student satisfaction are investigated, and needs for further studies are suggested. (10…

Peer reviewedWhiting, John – Computers and Education, 1985
Reports on use of a tutorial program written in STAF2 authoring language to replace human teaching in an undergraduate biology mastery learning program. Learning was assessed cognitively in terms of Bloom's Taxonomy. Students taught by the STAF2 computer program attained significantly higher scores for retention, application, and evaluation of…
