The Design of Algorithms.

Peer reviewed

Ferguson, David L.; Henderson, Peter B. – Machine-Mediated Learning, 1987

Designed initially for use in college computer science courses, the model and computer-aided instructional environment (CAIE) described helps students develop algorithmic problem solving skills. Cognitive skills required are discussed, and implications for developing computer-based design environments in other disciplines are suggested by…

Writing as a Design Discipline: Exploring the Relationship between Composition and Programming.

Peer reviewed

Walton, Richard E.; Balestri, Diane – Machine-Mediated Learning, 1987

Examines similarities between composition and programming processes, and reviews two studies that linked instruction in computer programming and freshman composition to help students understand writing as a design discipline. Projects at the University of Montana and Bryn Mawr College which improved students' writing abilities are described. (LRW)
