A computer-assisted instruction (CAI) author language and operating system is available for use by McGill instructors on the university's IBM 360/65 RAX Time-Sharing System. Instructors can use this system to prepare lessons which allow the computer and a student to "converse" in natural language. The instructor prepares a lesson by…

Friend, Jamesine E.; And Others – 1972
A computer-assisted instructional system to teach college students the computer language, AID (Algebraic Interpretive Dialogue), two control programs, and data collected by the two control programs are described. It was found that although first response errors were often those of AID syntax, such errors were easily corrected. Secondly, while…

Peer reviewedLarsen, Mark D. – Hispania, 1988
Extensively reviews Hypercard, a multifaceted software package for the Macintosh. HyperCard uses a language called "hypertext" which was patterned after everyday language and designed to allow flexibility in the linking and manipulation of text, graphics, and sounds. Describes one use for Hypercard in an advanced course on Latin American…

Beard, M. H.; Barr, A. V. – 1976
This manual is the student's main source of information about the BASIC Instructional Program (BIP), a "hands-on laboratory" that teaches elementary programming in the BASIC language, and the BASIC language itself. The manual is organized as a reference document for students with no previous programming experience. Three major sections…

Bright, George W. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1988
Considered are concept development and errors in using both Logo and BASIC made by 25 prospective teachers in a computer literacy course. Understanding errors that students exhibit in programing may affect the ways mathematics teachers understand the process of learning structured content like mathematics. (MNS)

Orndorff, Joseph – 1988
Designed to address the varied computer skill levels of college students, this proposed computer literacy course would be modular in format, with modules tailored to address various levels of expertise and permit individualized instruction. An introductory module would present both the history and future of computers and computing, followed by an…

Lewis, Matthew W. – 1980
This report describes an in-depth analysis of the errors made by users of SOLO, a programming language written for Open University students studying cognitive psychology. The study was designed to (1) determine the effectiveness of SOLO's current error-handling routines by evaluating how often SOLO produced "sensible" messages or…

Peer reviewedDyck, Jennifer L.; Mayer, Richard E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1989
Computer-naive university students (N=124) were taught the BASIC programing language by solving and receiving feedback on program comprehension problems stated in BASIC or on corresponding problems stated in English followed by problems stated in BASIC. Results support a sequential method of instruction beginning with use of natural language…

Lukas, George; Feurzeig, Wallace – 1973
A description is provided of a computer system designed to aid in the analysis of student programing work. The first section of the report consists of an overview and user's guide. In it, the system input is described in terms of a "dribble file" which records all student inputs generated; also an introduction is given to the aids…
