Discusses the salient characteristics of APL, its relation to other popular problem-solving languages, and its uses in education as well as in general problem solving. (DE)

This article focuses attention on key questions facing mathematics educators and secondary schools as they consider the role and use of computers in conjunction with their mathematics programs. Also discussed are important questions to be considered in the selection of the computers for classroom use. (RP)

By using teletypewriters connected to the Harwell multi-access computing system, lecturers can easily demonstrate the operation of the computer in the classroom; this saves time and eliminates errors and staff can carry out exercises using the main computer. (EB)

Paper presented at Annual Convention of National Council of Teachers of English (Milwaukee, Wis., November 29, 1968).

Looks at computer uses appropriate for the elementary reading classroom, considers techniques for evaluating computer materials, and suggests references and resources for additional information. (FL)

Describes experimental Spanish program which employs simulated conversation strategies that allow students more freedom in their responses than in usual computer assisted language instruction programs, while error checking routines monitor for syntactic errors. (Author/BK)

Describes special considerations to be accounted for by evaluator of computer assisted instruction (CAI) materials, outlines a recommended approach to formative evaluation of CAI (one-to-one evaluations, small group evaluations, field tests), and offers suggestions to evaluators of CAI concerning how process can be simplified. Five references are…

Classifies authoring languages for computer assisted instructional lessons according to a taxonomy based on the hierarchy commonly used for computer languages--the lowest level being the code used by the machine itself and higher levels successively more removed from the machine language. (Author/JJD)

Reports on student use and reaction to computer software adapted for a course in business communication at the University of Wisconsin--Whitewater. (JOW)

The column reviews trends and recent articles on computer assisted instruction (CAI) for students with learning disabilities and for students without handicaps. Topics addressed include CAI for incarcerated students, insurance, guidelines for software, and suggestions for purchasing software. (CL)

Computer assisted learning has the capability to cope with the diverse needs and characteristics of the adult learner, to provide alternative means of reaching goals, to provide flexibility in pacing learning, and to provide for independent and self-directed learning. (SK)

The many uses of microcomputers in health education and health education research are described. The flexibility, versatility, and easy use of microcomputers is discussed. (CJ)

The authors provide an overview of how microcomputers have been introduced and implemented in a secondary level program for the hearing impaired in the Los Angeles County deaf and hard of hearing project. (SW)

The computer assisted instruction (CAI) program at the California School for the Deaf, at Fremont, features individual Apple computers in classrooms as well as in CAI labs. When the whole class uses computers simultaneously, the teacher can help individuals, identify group weaknesses, note needs of the materials, and help develop additional CAI…
