THE READING CENTER AT SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY COLLEGE RELATED COMPUTER USES TO FOUR ASPECTS OF ITS READING PROGRAM--DIAGNOSIS, INSTRUCTION, EVALUATION, AND RESEARCH. A SYSTEMS DESIGN FOR THE TOTAL PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED THROUGH THE PRACTICAL CONCERNS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE FOUR ASPECTS. THE FOLLOWING ARE THE OBJECTIVES OF THE VALLEY COLLEGE PROGRAM IN…

A high speed computer is recommended for performing calculations and producing tables on current facility utilization. Increased efficiency and cost reduction are suggested results of this program. Facility usage is analyzed by establishing relationships between factors of space capacity and space occupancy. Four formulas determine room…

Computer managed instruction (CMI) is essentially an information system capable of deciding on performance expectations and appropriate educational experiences. In addition to the two decision processes, five major processes are viewed as being central to the man-machine system of CMI: test scoring, achievement profiling, diagnosing, prescribing,…

Five computerized narrative assessment reports are discussed. These are: (1) the Teaching Information Processing System Student Report, used for a college economics course; (2) the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) Score Report; (3) the Programmed Composition of Psychological Test Reports employed at the Mayo Clinic for reporting results…

A study was conducted at Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan to determine selection of a computer for both academic and administrative purposes. The university has a total enrollment of 2,100 students and includes a college, graduate school and seminary. An initial feasibility study delineated criteria and desirable components of the…
