This paper reports the development of a digital escape room for high school students using Genially, a web-based media platform. The escape room was used to aid understanding of basic concepts in chemistry and mostly enhance students' classes participation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The activity entitled "The thalidomide mystery"…

Intelligent Computer-Assisted Language Learning (ICALL) involves using tools and techniques from computational linguistics and Natural Language Processing (NLP) in the language learning process. It is an inherently complex endeavour and is multi-, inter-, and trans-disciplinary in nature. Often these tools and techniques are designed for tasks and…

Few professors teaching at community colleges today expect students to learn every nuance of every technological device they are likely to encounter throughout the course of their careers. Educators can expose students to enough of a base so that when the technology does evolve--and it will--they have the confidence and ability to adapt and…

A master program to manage instruction and generate the necessary control cards was designed to both teach thinking skills and assist the teacher in assessing the student's thought processes. Twelve references are cited. (MER)

Describes a package of computer programs, Basic All-Purpose Learning Games (BALG), developed to blend entertainment with geography learning objectives. The games, however, are easily adapted to a wide range of subject matter and are appropriate for various educational levels. (Author/KC)

Reviews such computer assisted instructional techniques as simulations, tutorials, and educational games, suggesting that educational software and computer-literate teachers are needed before electronic education becomes pervasive. Additional areas addressed include programming languages, providing sample BASIC, LOGO, SMALLTALK, and SOPHIE…

The need for a strong package of computer software in a computer science-oriented program is discussed. Ways of accumulating software and selective reviews of available computer assisted instruction (CAI) programs are also presented. (MP)

This bibliography lists 86 references, most of which are annotated, to papers and journal articles on computer assisted learning (CAL) in the Soviet Union. Topics dealt with include problem solving models, decision strategies, programmed instruction, algorithms, simulation, educational games, databases, and testing. The references have been…

A collection of six papers presented at Queen Elizabeth College of University of London in February, 1979. Techniques presented on role of computer models and data bases, tapes/booklets, games and models, and audio tutorials as an alternative to practical teaching, television and videotapes, and computer graphics.

This report summarizes the year's activities of a project at two adult correctional institutions which utilized computers in their educational programs to supplement the existing GED, basic math, language arts, reading, and vocational skills and awareness curriculums. The computer is used as a supplement to the educational programs by providing…

Three research efforts that used computer-based simulations for maintenance training were in progress when this report was written: Game-Based Learning, which investigated the use of computer-based games to train electronics diagnostic skills; Human Performance in Fault Diagnosis Tasks, which evaluated the use of context-free tasks to train…

A Community Thinkers' Tournament uses existing communications and instructional gaming technology to make available to participating community members a learning network for enhancing fundamental reasoning skills. Experience with this program, as it has operated in Ann Arbor, Michigan and the Watts area of Los Angeles over a two-year period, shows…

The first of the two issues included here reports on various developments concerning the use of computers for schools of business. One-page articles cover these topics: widespread use of simulation games, survey of computer use in higher education, ten new computer cases which teach techniques for management analysis, advantages of the use of…
