Describes present and future computer assisted instruction systems developed by a systems group. (LN)

Wiring the city of Irvine provided a community-wide education network through a student-controlled, interactive two-way TV system. Adding computer-based education will afford Irvine a first in combined information and education service. (Author/BB)

This paper describes the CEDAR Project, which is designed to encourage and facilitate the development and effective use of educational computing within Imperial College, the University of London, and elsewhere. The project supports teaching staff by providing an information service and demonstration facilities, by developing and implementing…

Described are the developments of a computing environment, the general training in the use of information technology, the training of specialists in computer science and engineering, and the use of information technology as an aid in the education process at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.

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)

The increased computer capability at the University of Chicago challenges its Computation Center to generate demand by making the expanded capacity available in a broader, more effective way than has been done in the past. The new computing services must be of reasonable comparable quality to alternatives, but offered at lower marginal costs. The…

First in a series designed to provide teachers and administrators with a reference tool for identifying, evaluating, and selecting software for use in computer-based teaching and learning, this guide describes those resources available through the New York State Education Department and regional services throughout New York. The activities and…

This report describes the development of a design and a small working model for a system for teaching and assisting in the performance of bibliographic on-line searches through the use of an intermediary computer. The system in its present form is intended for direct users of scientific and technical information systems. However, it is felt that…

This report describes the progress and plans of the Scottish Microelectronics Development Programme (SMDP), which was created to stimulate the development of microcomputer software and the use of microcomputers in both curriculum and management through the loan of hardware to a selected group of projects based in schools and colleges. Included are…

The significant accomplishments and events in computing at Dartmouth College during the period July 1, 1973 through June 30, 1976 are described in detail. The report is divided into six sections: (1) review of activities, (2) acquisition of equipment, (3) software development, (4) computer applications, (5) highlights of the first decade of the…

This document presents the proceedings and post-conference materials of the annual EDUCAUSE conference. The theme of this conference was "Thinking IT Through." Conference sessions are divided into six domains: Infrastructure and Basic Services; Teaching and Learning; Managing Information Technologies and Resources; Information Systems; New…

Eighteen papers on instructional technology, computerized testing, and computer assisted test construction (CATC) presented at the 1976 Association for Educational Data Systems (AEDS) convention are included here. Two papers discuss computer assisted instruction in calculus and teacher education courses. The use of computers in theoretical…
