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)

A computer model designed to provide administrators faced with the problem of meeting demands from many quarters for the available space" with information about the effects of changes in space availability is described. (Author/AA)

Reports on uses of microcomputers at the University of Michigan including word processing, extending laboratory experience, simulation, games, tutorial uses, and building skills in computing. (RAO)

Examines the application of microcomputer statistics in social studies, and computer access and simulations in middle school environments. An interdisciplinary framework of curricula among social studies, science, and mathematics teachers with equal access to microcomputers and software programs is encouraged. (MER)

a look at computer simulation, which belies a methodological distinction and is a relatively new approach to the study and further understanding of complex entities and situations. (Author)

Discusses some prominent applications available today for most microcomputer systems, including: teaching computing to all students, the computer as a problem solving tool, games, drill and practice, simulation, and testing. (Author)
