Brock, John F. – Educational Technology, 1978
This article discusses the state of computer-based simulation, reviews the early phases of ISD, suggests that current ISD approaches are missing critical inputs, and proposes a research and development program. (Author)

Smeltzer, Dennis K. – Educational Technology, 1984
INSTAN, a computer program designed to aid in appropriate media selection for classroom teaching, comprises three interrelated sections which focus on instructional objectives, the instructional environment, and instructional material selection. INSTAN is not described as an all-inclusive media selection model, but as a paradigm for further…

Braden, Roberts A. – Educational Technology, 1981
Provides a core reference library of 100 basic titles (139 books) which have proved useful to instructional developers and client teacher-designers at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The focus is on instructional design and development, but entries on research and on computer applications in instructional contexts are also…

Cohen, Vicki Blum – Educational Technology, 1983
Discusses attributes which are offered as set of standards to judge instructional software--those unique to design of microcomputer courseware and those included in design of all instruction. Curriculum role, modes of interaction, computer managed instruction, graphics, feedback, packaging, and manuals are noted. Fourteen references are included.…

Zirkel, Jessica B.; Zirkel, Perry A. – Educational Technology, 1997
Reviews the limited research on computer software alternatives to actual dissection in biology instruction. Concludes that research should include larger more representative samples; higher priority on psychometrically sound instrumentation; a paper-based comparison group; a design that carefully considers attitude; and practical measures to…
