This paper is concerned with the application of information engineering approaches to the design of large general purpose educational systems. The subject is developed through a brief discussion of such topics as (1) design objectives of future educational systems, (2) an information processing model of the educational process, (3) a basic…

A research study investigated the validity of directly interfacing an uninitiated user with a complex, computerized batch processing system via a conversational, interactive language. A control group conducted mediated searches of the Educational Resources Information Center's (ERIC) files by consulting with an information specialist. Members of…

The essays in this volume explore the ways the Speech Communication Association (SCA) might use the computing technology of the microprocessor. The six chapters focus on the following topics: (1) ways the new technology will impact on the processing of manuscripts for speech journals and the SCA's national conventions, with particular emphasis on…

This publication is a sample issue of a new reference publication "designed to meet the growing demand for substantial, timely coverage of the literature dealing with the interfaces of linguistics, computation, information science, and related fields." Prepared by the Language Information Network and Clearinghouse System (LINCS) at the Center for…

An authoring system obviates the need for programing in the development of computer-assisted instructional materials. Options for a variety of educational strategies are preprogramed, allowing the developer to concentrate on curricular concerns rather than software considerations. (RJG)

Describes experiences of the Research Group on Education (RGE) at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Education in using limited computer resources when teaching informatics. Topics discussed include group projects; the use of Logo; ability grouping; and out-of-class activities, including publishing a pupils' magazine. (13…

Presents an overview of the evolution of ideas and achievements in the sphere of general secondary education. Emphasis is on the social aspects of the implementation of the various stages which were involved in the introduction and development of computer technology in educational systems in different countries. Both French and English versions…

In 1987, the Bulgarian government and cooperating international agencies launched the program, "Children in the Information Age," a project aimed at: conducting and promoting national research into, exchange of information about, development and application of, practical training in, and methods and techniques for the introduction of…

Developed to guide the research of the Educational Technology Center, a consortium based at Harvard Graduate School of Education, this report addresses the use of new information technologies to enrich, extend, and transform current instructional practice in science, mathematics, and computer education. A discussion of the basic elements required…

This issue of the journal contains citations of articles and other publications, many in translation, on aspects of information science of interest to the language field, including: linguistics and computation, mechanical translation, quantitative linguistics, computer science, information science, theoretical linguistics, languages,…

The ninth annual EDUCOM conference developed its theme along four major lines: computing for research; computing for instruction; management information systems; and the allocation of computing resources. Papers in this volume address primarily the organizational and political considerations (Parts II, III, IV, and V), and technological/economic…
