The TICCIT command language is a synthesis between work in instructional psychology and cybernetics, and broadens the degrees of control available to students well beyond the capabilities of existing CAI systems. Student control commands manipulate important instructional variables and information is provided to guide the student's choice of…

Misunderstandings on the part of the researcher as to the computer's capability, coupled with the inability of the computer system to function efficiently, has often handicapped the research activities in computer assisted instruction (CAI). A new data system is being developed to resolve these problems. A Delete/Sort program has been designed to…

Transportation, Agriculture, and Art are used as examples to establish how technology, especially computer-based technology, is involved in the life of man. Cities grow in population very rapidly; motor vehicles grow in number even more rapidly; both citcumstances raise problems--traffic congestion, economic loss, air pollution, urban…

Computer assisted instruction (CAI) can achieve its potential as a tool for individualizing instruction only if the flexible logic and memory capabilities of computers are utilized. An instructional program must be written in such a way that it can handle at least three variables: (a) who is being taught; (b) what is critical; and (c) how the…

A Symposium was held in May of 1972 to assist in the resolution of the varied problems effecting the advance of educational technology. Most of the papers presented at the symposium dealt with the current situation of various aspects of computer assisted instruction (CAI) throughout Canada. Other papers covered CAI centralization, minicomputers,…

A review of the possibilities and challenges of computer-assisted instruction (CAI), and a brief history of CAI projects at Stanford serve to give the reader the context of the particular program described and analyzed in this book. The 1965-66 arithmetic drill-and-practice program is described, summarizing the curriculum and project operation. An…
