Discusses potential advantages and problems involved in the use of computers by school systems. (JG)

Describes the basic components of the videotex family to which Telidon belongs, and identifies specific features of Telidon and the educational functions it can serve. Reviews of current experiments using this technology and speculations on videotex's impact on society are given. A 6-item bibliography is provided. (Author/MER)

Presents a history of Utah's WICAT Education Institute, and examines its role in the introduction of new delivery systems into educational environments. Several examples of institute projects are given, with emphasis on the development of programs which use computer and videodisc technologies. (MER)

This is the first of a set of four papers on the use of computers in mathematics education. It includes a discussion of the impact of the computer on society, types of computer systems and languages; instructional applications, administrative uses, libraries and data bases, the design of computer-oriented curricula, and cost effectiveness. For the…

Discusses factors relevant to decisionmaking in computer-assisted instruction such as costs, financing, technological and sociological difficulties, and administrative use. (Author)

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)

Reviews an educational system's technological approach to preparing staff and students for the 21st century. Explains student programs that incorporate technological advances as computer-assisted and computer-managed instruction and materials and electronic blackboards. A masters degree program for teachers in educational technology is also…

Clarifies often misconstrued distinctions with regard to microcomputers, minicomputers, and maxicomputers. Criteria for educational use of microcomputers are examined, including its potential for language and peripheral expansion, and its communication capabilities. (MER)

Opportunities provided by computer technologies are considered from two perspectives: what they are enabling teachers and researchers to do and implications for the future. Processing information, opening access to the library, and coordinating telecommunications are discussed, including the University of California MELVYL system. (MLW)

Three school systems were examined to assess issues pertinent to microcomputer innovations in the schools, and to determine whether a revolution in education was taking place because of this new technology. A case study approach was used in this exploratory analysis in order to collect information from four levels: students, administrators,…

This preliminary directory represents the offerings of 45 software suppliers and information about instructional software currently available for three microcomputers widely used in schools. It is geared towards a wide variety of users including school planners contemplating microcomputer acquisition, teachers planning courses and curricula, media…

Discusses seven potential benefits of the use of microcomputers in education, including more active learning, less mental drudgery, and learning nearer the speed of thought; also covers seven limitations, including the difficulty of using microcomputers, rapid changes in technology and lack of standardization, and a scarcity of good computer…

The advent of the computer to education can be compared to two other information revolutions: writing and printing. Computing will have an impact most like that of printing, but it may bring about an even sharper delineation of power. (MSE)

This chapter reports the responses from eight colleges and universities in the United Kingdom to an international questionnaire as part of a study to investigate the initiation and development of computer facilities in education. Data are presented under the headings: general development and scale of work, purposes of the project or unit, training…
