Project IMPACT (Instructional Model Prototypes Attainable in Computerized Training) is a comprehensive advanced development project designed to produce an effective and economical computer-administered instruction (CAI) system for the Army. The computer hardware and software capabilities of the prototype system are described. The components of the…

This study was undertaken to examine the status of computer-based instruction in Vancouver secondary schools which is categorized as computer-science courses or traditional courses which use the computer merely as a problem-solving and learning aid. Then schools participated in an examination of the computer-science courses. This aspect of the…

An analytic, statistical, synthetic, bibliographic, instructional, and automated music printing systems is currently available at the Ohio State University. The computer analysis of music is described here, and a list of programs available for computer-assisted musical analysis is presented. Statistical research in music education is considered…

An instructional management program was developed to assist students in selecting learning activities. The program was based on a general model for specifying hierarchical curriculum structure. This model was developed using the directed graph, a mathematical form of a structural model. A hierarchy could then be generated from the curriculum…

Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) is not making an important, visible impact on the educational system of this country. Though its instructional value has been proven time after time, the high cost of the hardware and the lack of quality courseware is preventing CAI from becoming a market success. In order for CAI to reach its market potential…

A further development in the systematic development of individualized instructional materials coupled with the availability of interactive terminals linked to time-sharing computer systems (computer-managed instruction) is the implementation of a computer-assisted instructional design system. With existing computer technology, the common elements…

The purpose of this research was to design several "small" and "interesting" computer programs which were acceptable and stimulating to the student, were controlled by the student rather than the teacher, and produced understanding of the knowledge to be learned. This report describes the assumptions made about interaction, motivation, and the…

THE THIRD 6-MONTH PERIOD OF OPERATION OF A COMPUTER-ASSISTED INSTRUCTION (CAI) EFFORT IN TECHNICAL EDUCATION WAS COVERED IN THIS REPORT. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE TOTAL PROGRAM (A 4-YEAR EFFORT) WERE (1) TO COMPARE CAI WITH OTHER EDUCATIONAL STRATEGIES, (2) TO PREPARE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, (3) TO TRAIN PERSONNEL, AND (4) TO DISSEMINATE RESULTS OF…

Individualized instruction programs have imposed an increased reliance on tests as a means of selecting and routing students through sometimes complex programs. Testing which occurs within the training sequence is particularly vulnerable to inefficient use of both trainee and instructor time, but computer-based instruction system can provide a…

This publication discusses computer education for teachers, reports the results of a nationwide survey on what teacher training institutions are doing about computer education, and looks into computer education trends in American school districts. Additionally, results are briefly discussed of a national survey of superintendents' attitudes…

Outlined here is a province-wide computer system that brings benefits to both schools and students. (Editor)

Suggests a conceptual framework for development of career programs in college, describes the need for such programs, and identifies some of the relevant research. The computer as a possible delivery vehicle for college-level career guidance is discussed and specific conclusions are drawn. (Author)

Contains an update of an earlier listing of software for mathematics instruction at the college level. Topics are: advanced mathematics, algebra, calculus, differential equations, discrete mathematics, equation solving, general mathematics, geometry, linear and matrix algebra, logic, statistics and probability, and trigonometry.

Computer-based education has the power to alter human thinking processes, and this change can be brought about by schools. Research is needed on methods to integrate the computer into classroom instruction. Computer based instruction can increase the student's participation in instructional systems design. (GDC)

Reviews for three software packages are given. These include "Equation Math," consisting of three programs for exploring graphs of the equations; "Recycling Logic," instructing students in the basics of reasoning; and "Turboplot-3D," intended for university-level mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer courses.
