Examples of computer simulation programs as instructional devices. (RA)

This report gives examples of diverse educational strategies in science and engineering education to illustrate the capabilities of the PLATO III computer-based education system. The basic structure of the TUTOR language is discussed and some technical details are given to explain how the PLATO III system works. A brief description of the…

Discusses a computer program that has been used in environmental chemistry courses as an example of modelling as a vehicle for teaching chemical dynamics, and as a demonstration of some of the factors which affect the production of smog. (Author/GS)

Computer-assisted instructional programs in seven content areas--mathematics, social science, physics, chemistry, biology, business and economics--are listed and described. These programs have been selected by content specialists as representative of the field and available for test purposes in connection with the regional network of Computers at…

A compilation of BASIC computer programs developed by teachers and students involved in the Huntington Computer Project is presented. The programs are grouped by subject area. The six subject areas are biology, earth science, chemistry mathematics, physics, social studies, and teacher assistance. For each program, the following information is…

Computer programs which teach concepts and processes related to biology, earth science, and chemistry are presented. The seven biology problems deal with aspects of genetics, evolution and natural selection, gametogenesis, enzymes, photosynthesis, and the transport of material across a membrane. Four earth science problems concern climates, the…

CONDUIT reviews and packages computer-based materials as alternative methods of teaching in higher education. Curriculum areas include biology (4 packages), chemistry (3), management science (9), mathematics (2), physics (6), and social science (17). This catalog individually describes the programs including suggested previous coursework, specific…

The programs in these three booklets are designed to demonstrate how the computer can be applied to the problems of many disciplines. The problems and the corresponding computer programs are, for the most part, quite simple and are designed to be "jumping-off points" for students from the high school level up. Programs include one or more from…
