Follettie, Joseph F. – 1972
An illustration of modestly-interactive instruction of moderate length--to be administered to six students who start off together--is presented. Implications for IDCMS regarding number of audio programs and video files and extent of looping are preliminarily deduced on the basis of characteristics of the illustrative instructional program.…

Collins, Allan; And Others – 1974
An analysis was made of the strategies by which tutors adapt their teaching to individual students; the objective was to synthesize these strategies in a computer system called SCHOLAR. Tape recordings of dialogues between tutors and students about South American geography were made to discover the strategies used by tutors. Since SCHOLAR is a…
