It is argued that the need for inadequate languages, those "simplified" languages that are scaled down to the limits of the present-day small computer, will soon disappear. Utilization of an extensive language base, even if it is developed on computers exceeding the capabilities of the target minis is suggested. (Author/RAO)

An approach illustrated with three simple APL programs. (Author)

This paper describes an application of Computer Assisted Instruction named 'genpbs' consisting of 5 modules of preliminary instruction and 19 modules of problems for students in introductory genetics. (Author)

Two compilers which allow students to use standard instead of computer notation have been written in BASIC for use on a minicomputer. (JY)

Describes the theory-base of the TICCIT system, summarizes some recent advances in instructional theory for sequencing and synthesizing related parts of a subject matter, and describes three major implications of those advances for the design of future theory-based CAI systems. (Author)

This paper briefly reviews relevant work in four areas: 1) quantitative models of memory; 2) regression models of performance; 3) automation models of performance; and 4) artificial intelligence. (Author/HB)

Descriptive quantitative data on various aspects of CAI are reported, including subject matter, author languages, instructional strategies, level of instruction, sources, and central processors. (Author)

Current theories on terminology and lexicography which underlie the logical components of the terminology bank set up on the PLATO system and established standards are briefly presented. The units that were essential to developing the bank are discussed. References are listed. (Author)

Introduces a checklist of instructional design and programing guidelines developed for use by authors of CAI materials. It provides a practical formative evaluation tool for nonspecialists desiring to improve their own CAI materials with minimal support from consultants or more experienced authors. (Author)

QUEST is a frame-oriented teaching program driver which permits efficient authoring and editing of computer-based tutorials, teaching and testing students by means of these tutorials, and processing and display of responses entered by students. (Author)

An assessment of the apparent realities surrounding faculty hesitation to become involved in computer-based education. (Author)

Provides a format whereby the reader can become an effective director of a CAI music program in a relatively short period of time. Included are guidelines for planning, financing, and operating a CAI program within the context of a complete music curriculum. (Author)

A report of an experiment which was conducted with a freshman ear-training class at the University of Delaware, to determine GUIDO's impact on student achievement in harmonic dictation. (Author/HB)

A description of a computerized system for acquiring basic knowledge. Augmented transition networks, which provide the formalism for the language analysis, are explained. (Author/HB)

A listing of some possible pitfalls that can deter the effective development activities of computer managed instruction. (HB)
