Ubiquitous Computing, Mobile Computing and the Internet of Things (collectively referred to as UMI herein) involve recent advances in technology areas such as low-cost and miniaturized processing and sensing technologies, high-bandwidth wireless networking and so on. UMI technologies can also support the recent attempts to reform computing…

In most instances, the papers in this collection present information reflecting the current status of computer usage in education and offer substantive forecasts for academic computing. Two speeches from the special ceremony for the renaming of the computing center in honor of Gerard P. Weeg, which was held as part of the two-day national computer…

Small stand-alone microcomputers can serve as the basis for running a sophisticated general-purpose interactive software system capable of supporting such interactive tasks as computer assisted instruction, word processing, and data processing, as well as other software development. A successful system using the PASCAL programing language is…

A short, general paper on how computers can enhance the learning process. (HB)

A description of how highly sophisticated, computerized robots can be used in the classroom. (HB)

Nearly 150 papers presented at this conference, sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing, are included in this volume which surveys the state of the art of computer education. Nine papers provide an overview on such topics as computer science and mathematics, computer education in the 1970's, computers and the…

A brief discussion of the use of computers to assist in the preparation of tests. (HB)

A satire on the use of computers in the classroom. (HB)

This paper argues that computers are the first form of educational technology that can be honestly described as "revolutionary". It also argues that this is because the real forte of computers is to support person-to-person educational influence, not replace it. (Author)

A brief general descussion of the proper role of computers in education. (HB)

A look at the U. S. Navy's development of a cost effective computer based instructional system. (Author/HB)

Using a specific course as an example, article presents a general approach to curriculum design, the computer techniques employed, the results obtained and the changes and adaptations which might be useful. (Author)

Highlights research on computer assisted instruction which should lead educators to the conclusion that there should be a computer in every classroom to improve teacher effectiveness and to enhance student achievement. (NEC)

The purpose of the paper is to describe an educational viewpoint based on the assumption that the complexity inherent in human nature should "drive" the relationship between technology and education; that deep technology is of little value without a deep view of education. (Author)

Discusses why computer assisted instruction did not work in many classrooms, how older people have fought the new technology, and why implementation of computer technology as part of training has been slow. Also examines uses of the videodisc and microcomputer and the trainer's role. (CT)
