Three Project Solo modules are presented. They are designed to teach the concepts of elementary matrix operation, matrix multiplication, and finite-state automata. Together with the module on communication matrices from Newsletter #17 they form a well motivated but structured path to expertise in this area. (JY)

Presented in this study are a number of laboratory projects typical of those found in a course on digital logic design. In addition, an attempt is made to fuse together the theoretical and practical aspects of logic design. It was the purpose of this study to present an experience in the requirements of a logic design laboratory to the interested…

This paper surveys approaches that are deemed practical for instructional use of radios and computers by satellite transmission. For each of the two instructional technologies a brief history is provided, a survey of the evaluation studies of effectiveness is given, and a concluding section on planning for application is provided. Because the…

Braille printouts create textbooks and help train blind programmers at the University of Manitoba. (Author)

This study was designed to test effects of a specified degree of learner control over the sequencing of instructional materials in a self contained tutorial CAI course in COBOL programming. Findings describe contributions and interactions of learner controlled variables with respect to instructional effectiveness and efficiency. (RAO)

Discusses a study which investigated whether a computer simulation model could suggest subroutines that were instructable and whether instruction on these subroutines could facilitate subjects' solutions to the problem task. (JM)

Discusses the approach taken to computer science education by the Lincoln Public School district in Nebraska. Reviews the curricular emphasis and offerings for the different grade levels in the system. Advocates an integrated approach in computer instruction for a K-12 curriculum. (ML)

Discusses how technology will be utilized in the future to improve instruction and increase the value of technical training, both to students and their potential employers. Administrative applications such as recruitment, billing, and job placement, and instructional applications such as word processing and computer-aided design are examined. (CT)

The purpose of this paper is to suggest some of the implications for teachers' roles that might result from the growth of computer technology in education. In the past, technological innovations in education have affected the roles of teachers as much as those of students. An important historical example is the invention of mechanical printing,…

Paper discusses the philosophy of computer-furthered instruction (CFI) and the design of a particular CFI system used in the required undergraduate course in probability theory and statistics taught in the school of Business at the University of Kansas. (Author)

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

A presentation of a model showing how computers can be used in correspondence study. (HB)

While the computer is presently largely performing functions such as payroll processing and scheduling, in a few years it will affect virtually every student from the kindergarten through the graduate school in some way or another relating to his learning. (Author/CB)
