Includes comments from participants; several key questions discussed. (JN)

For less than $3,000 per classroom, Dyersburg State Community College (Texas) has integrated its campus time-sharing computer system into projection television sets under interactive, teacher control. Six uses of the Teacher's Interactive Video Instructional System identified so far are described. (JN)

Provides guidelines for designing television screen displays, including format (material on one screen - no scrolling, screen readable, variety in layout, eye movement considered) and visual imagery (organization consistent with message, pictures added to enhance image, movement/animation used with discretion, and others). Also provides rationale…

Computers at the Children's Museum (Washington, DC) are used for exhibits, classroom teaching, and development of educational software. Describes computer exhibits in the museum including the "Future Center," a room equipped with 20 Atari 800s used for instructional purposes. Also describes several computer programs used in the museum. (Author/JN)

Computer assisted instruction is used to increase the reading level of juvenile delinquents. The program at the Neeles School in California is designed to improve reading by vocabulary drill/practice exercises. Most students over a five-year period have increased their reading level by one month for each month in the project. (Author/JN)

Discusses how an Atari microcomputer provides highly legible, colorful characters and other design elements for a cable community bulletin board program. The proram is available from author (or Atari dealers) on cassette (32K) or diskette (40K). (JN)

A controversy has arisen as to whether instrument vendors are providing sufficient information about instrument-associated software to permit users to understand invisible data transformations going on inside of the equipment. Topics addressed include software protection, user modifications, and publishing software. (Author/JN)

Milwaukee Area Technical College has joined with business and industry to develop training programs for computer-based information processing, and engineering and manufacturing technologies. These partnerships are important as companies look for ways to improve productivity and quality, keep abreast of changing technology, and ensure economic…

Provides an annotated bibliography of 25 citations focusing on topics for teachers using computers in the elementary classroom and for researchers gathering background material for articles, grant proposals, and presentations.

Computerized energy management at Drew University (New Jersey) is accomplished by direct digital control in which microprocessor controllers control, monitor, and carry out energy management functions at the equipment level. (Author/MLF)

More than 90 computer terminals are used at Lamar University (Texas) for a number of functions, including classes, admission, registration, fee payment, catalog editing, and the handling of the university's investments. (MLF)

The use of the analog computer to plot the gain frequency of a system under test is presented. Both linear and logarithmic plots are considered. The method is applicable with almost no frequency restrictions when the system under test is simulated on the computer. (SK)

Describes impact of micrographics; microcomputer simulations of scintillation spectrometry and chemical/enzyme kinetics experiments; various computer programs (formulas and equations and equilibrium demonstration and lunar data plotting, among others); multiplexing in instrument readout displays; microcomputer-controlled flash photolysis…

Reviews the nature of computer networks and previews their development by focusing on ways they are useful to scientists and to science, including applications for remote computer access, electronic mail, bulletin boards, teleconferencing, file transfer, resource sharing, and imbedding nontextual communications.
