In this work is proposed that an adaptation tool that is for the automatic generation and personalization of courses of a general-purpose LCMS that is named A Tutor. A Tutor is a Learning Content Management System. The architecture of the adaptation tool that allows a personalized sequencing of LOs in A Tutor for the learner's learning goals,…

Of the fields on which developments related to information and communication technologies are effective will keep increasing is education. That's why the methods and techniques that have been formed over the long years may change relatively. In the past years, the field of higher education has been impacted very much from the developments and…

This paper details a computer managed program of instruction called Teaching Information Processing System (TIPS) as adapted to an introductory psychology course. TIPS encourages the instructor to formulate objectives for meaningful units of a course--objectives which should imply what changes in student behavior indicate mastery. Then multiple…

The Instructional Systems Development process and the application of a mastery learning strategy is used to train Marine Corps recruits. This method seems to hold promise in training widely divergent groups of human beings for high levels of performance. (Author/MLF)

Computer managed instruction (CMI) is proposed as a solution to the managerial problems created when introductory level courses with large numbers of students are taught using a self-paced, mastery-learning approach, e.g., Keller's Personalized System of Instruction (PSI). This paper discusses the educational premises of CMI, the advantages of CMI…

Basic assumptions about instruction must be established, and cooperation between a subject expert, instructional designer, evaluator, and computer applications person is needed to develop a computer managed instruction (CMI) system. Although development costs are high, educational improvement and the changing nature of instruction from lockstep to…

This paper considers some of the problems in implementing a cost-effectiveness analysis in training and education, and provides a specific example of an analysis that partially meets the cost-effectiveness analysis requirements. A computer-based study management system (SMS), which was implemented on a limited basis, was evaluated in the context…

This paper describes the multiple evaluation techniques which can be applied to one computer-based instructional system and the ways in which the data may be used. The Navy's Computer Managed Instruction (CMI) System is used as an example to illustrate the application of various evaluation strategies for solving problems associated with delivery…

This annotated bibliography lists instructional development resources relevant to the Interservice Procedures for Instructional Systems Development Model (ISD), a standardized model providing for the assessment of training needs; the design, development, and implementation of instruction; and the assessment of instructional quality. Following a…

To make training cost-effective for its small systems customers, Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) is providing self-instructional packages that can be used by customers on-site for training people to run their systems. To control the quality of this training, Computer Managed Instruction (CMI) is now incorporated into some of these packages.…

The microterminal/microfiche (MT/MF) system described is part of a continuing effort to investigate the feasibility of a low-cost, stand-alone device for the delivery of the testing component of technical training in a computer-based instructional (CBI) environment. A description of the hardware for the system includes the basic microterminal…

The plan described was developed to evaluate the training and cost-effectiveness of the Automated Instructional Management System (AIMS), a computer-based training and resource development system being developed by the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) for possible installation in its schools and training centers. The Functional Description…

One of the methods moving to the fore in aligning curriculum to standards is computer-based Instructional Management Systems (IMS). Reports on the process used by the Palm Beach County School District to select and implement an IMS to improve teaching, providing some basic information which other districts or schools can use in their own search…

The educational delivery system in the United States has matured, and investing more funds in the current system will have no effect in terms of effectively training students for tomorrow's society. Among the shortcomings of the current delivery system are limited individual instruction, inconsistent quality of presentation, limits of the teacher…

Describes the application of computer based instruction (CBI) to prepare adult learners for new roles as managers in the acquisition of major defense systems. CBI efficiency and effectiveness are considered in terms of their potential to contribute to organizational performance needs and goals. (MER)
