Schmid, Richard F.; Gerlach, Vernon S. – Performance Improvement Quarterly, 1990
Discusses the role of algorithms in the design of computer-assisted instruction (CAI). Structural and processing characteristics of algorithms are analyzed, instructional algorithms are explained, empirically based design rules are presented, and the use of instructional algorithms in artificial intelligence is described. (44 references) (LRW)

Harmon, Paul; Pipe, Peter – Performance and Instruction, 1986
Describes design and presents examples of industrial use of small expert systems and guidelines for choosing problems which lend themselves to small tool solutions. Use of microcomputer facilitated decision tables to diagnose and categorize people, things, and issues is suggested, and development of three decision table formats is described. (MBR)

Elsom-Cook, Mark T.; O'Malley, Claire E. – Computers and Education, 1990
Describes ECAL (extended computer-assisted learning) which was designed to incorporate artificial intelligence ideas to extend traditional CAL tools. Intelligent tutoring systems are discussed; authoring tasks in CAL and intelligent computer-assisted instruction (ICAI) are described; and the general architecture of the system is explained. (8…

Towne, Douglas M.; And Others – Interactive Learning Environments, 1990
Explains the Intelligent Maintenance Training System that allows a nonprogramming subject matter expert to produce an interactive graphical model of a complex device for computer simulation. Previous simulation-based training systems are reviewed; simulation algorithms are described; and the student interface is discussed. (Contains 24…

Educational Technology, 1993
Provides the transcript of an interview with Dr. Lev Landa that addressed issues related to his algorithmico-heuristic theories of learning and instruction, called Landamatics. Highlights include teaching thinking versus knowledge; algorithms; instructional design; improving training and performance in industry, business, and government;…
