A description of SASLIP (Saskatchewan List Processor) programing language and its advantages as a teaching medium. (HB)

Article describes an approach which employs a structuring of the user's conceptual reference spaces into sets of "action primitives", peculiar to the type of computer-aided task involved. (Author)

Requirements for a desirable authoring system are reviewed and a proposal for an interrogative authoring system presented. (Author)

An introduction to the main features of TUTOR, the language in which instructional material is prepared for the PLATO Computer-based Education System. (Author)

This paper considers the problem of multiple languages in the transfer of computer-based curriculum materials and proposes a Primary Author Language which acts as a medium for translating from one language to another. (Author)

In this paper the present state of the art in authoring systems in surveyed and the other papers in this special issue are introduced. (Author)

This paper discusses the various types of easy author entry systems that have been developed, describing the salient features of particular systems, and suggests where each type might be used. It also describes a prototype system whose design aims have concentrated particularly on the problems of ease of use, documentation and standardizatiion.…

Describes a model for the design of computer assisted instruction (CAI) in problem solving for an introductory digital systems design course. Includes evaluation. (LS)

This presentation attempts to discuss some of the factors that enable a computer-based instructional system to function as part of a practical and effective learning system, operating within the academic mainstream of a university environment. (Author)

The utilization of the computer in education gives rise to an important problem: all media used in education are, in principle, good - but what is the right place of the computer? (Author)

The essential components of an ideal facility for computer-assisted musical composition and research are briefly described. More detailed consideration is given to the central role of a graphical display unit in such a system. (Author)

A discussion of the concept of using a specially-designed graphics system that is being developed about a mini-computer to appraise the capability of carrying out computer-aided instruction at a modest cost in remote locations where it may not be possible to provide a large-scale system with time-shared terminals. (Author)

The purpose of the paper is to describe an educational viewpoint based on the assumption that the complexity inherent in human nature should "drive" the relationship between technology and education; that deep technology is of little value without a deep view of education. (Author)

A proposed student model consisting of a set of programs to represent the student's knowledge state. Teaching proceeds after a comparative evaluation of student and teacher programs, and learning is represented by direct modification of the student model. The advantages of an explicit procedural model are illustrated by considering a program which…

The magnitude of the task of courseware development in the Time-Shared, Interactive, Computer-Controlled Information Television (TICCIT) project has required the development of well-defined and manageable techniques for courseware preparation. This paper reviews the problems involved and the team production techniques developed to overcome them.…
