The HYPERTUTOR incorporates the ideas of a "hypertext" and the TUTOR-IV programing language used on the PLATO-IV system. The HYPERTUTOR is a part of Northwestern University's MULTI-TUTOR system and runs on a non-PLATO, non-dedicated CDC 6400 computer. It allows the transfer of courseware from PLATO to non-PLATO systems. It has…

Pressman, Israel; Rosenbloom, Bruce – Technological Horizons in Education, 1984
Discusses costs related to providing computer assisted instruction (CAI), considering hardware, software, user training, maintenance, and installation. Provides an example of the total cost of CAI broken down into these categories, giving an adjusted yearly cost. Projects future trends and costs of CAI as well as cost savings possibilities. (JM)

Otto, Lee – Classroom Computer Learning, 1984
Examines such assumptions about the educational benefits of computers in schools as freeing education from its historic limitation as a labor-sensitive industry and allowing for more individualization of instruction. Also considers the effectiveness of software programs in the classroom as well as computer costs and cost effectiveness. (JN)

Wilson, Stanley; Billingsley, Ray – 1971
This computer program is designed to optimize a Cobb-Douglas type of production function. The user of this program may choose isoquants and/or the expansion path for a Cobb-Douglas type of production function with up to nine resources. An expansion path is the combination of quantities of each resource that minimizes the cost at each production…

Hansen, Duncan N.; And Others – 1975
The Navy computer-managed instruction system (Navy CMI) is a large, multi-site operation. Research findings show that it is yielding benefits in terms of cost savings. During fiscal year 1975, savings of over ten million dollars were realized, mostly due to course reductions ranging from 24 to 80 percent and reductions in on-board students. It has…
