Designed to assist faculty in California community colleges in sharing microcomputer programs they have written, this guide provides abstracts for 89 teacher-developed microcomputer programs that can be obtained for non-commercial use. Each entry contains information on the title and author of the program, the institution of the author, the…

Topics in this paper include: sources of computer programs, public domain software, copyright violations, purposes of computers in classrooms (drill/practice and interactive learning), computer assisted instruction, flow charts, and computer clubs (such as App-le-kations in Charlotte, North Carolina). A complete listing of two computer programs…

Twelve publications already in the ERIC system that deal with microcomputers were selected for annotation. Two of the publications are conference proceedings that explore the use of computers. Another two are administrator handbooks dealing with the acquisition and the use of computers. Reference works cited include a guide for instructional…

This research project was designed to provide information which will be of assistance to science educators responsible for and interested in the development, implementation and evaluation of educational programs and courses designed to foster computer literacy. A questionnaire concerning computer use in the classroom was answered by 3,576 science…

The Chief of Naval Education and Training (CNET) Automated Budget System II (CABS II) is an improved and expanded version of an earlier system which was developed by the Training Analysis and Evaluation Group (TAEG) to provide an efficient, easy means of handling the large volume of data necessary to produce budget documents. Intended as a guide…

Two basic requirements for the successful initiation of a program for test assembly are the development of detailed item content classification systems and the delineation of the professional judgements made in building a test from a pool of items to detailed content, ability, and statistical specifications in terms precise enough to be translated…

Described and listed herein with concomitant sample input and output is the Fortran IV program which estimates parameters and standard errors of estimate per parameters for parameters estimated through multiple matrix sampling. The specific program is an improved and expanded version of an earlier version. (Author/BJG)

A description is presented of the space inventory procedures and the space utilization records and system in use at the University of Michigan. Some examples are offered of earlier attempts at space records that led to the present computerized system. A procedure outline is presented regarding data gathering, computer reports (space inventory and…

The state-of-the-art of hardware technology for computers in education is discussed. The choices that are available to the user, and the questions the user must ask himself before making a choice of computer hardware, are explored. An example of the costs of a central computer system for educational use is presented. (Author)

The community college president's role in facilitating institutional computer utilization is explored, and recommendations are made for his/her behavior and priorities in connection with educational concerns, institutional concerns, and statewide concerns. Typical institutional organizational arrangements regarding campus computers, research,…

This computer program is designed to optimize a Cobb-Douglas type of production function. The user of this program may choose isoquants and/or the expansion path for a Cobb-Douglas type of production function with up to nine resources. An expansion path is the combination of quantities of each resource that minimizes the cost at each production…

Focuses on the advantages of using the microcomputer rather than the minicomputer. Descriptions of the programing process and system components for the microcomputer are followed by a list of 11 types of computer programs that can be processed at this time, and a brief discussion of research goals. (RAO)

Describes a computer model kinetic theory experiment for the college physical chemistry laboratory. (HM)

Discusses use of computers in writing poetry, indicating that color graphics can free the poet from mundane mechanics and allow new possibilities of form in the writing of verse. Also discusses "The Electric Poet," a computer program which allows any author, teacher, or student to easily create animated color poems. (JN)

Described is a software program with two components. One is muMATH, a package of functions that can perform a wide variety of symbolic manipulations. It is surrounded by, and written in, the accompanying language, muSIMP. A problem is described with a muMATH solution; another example uses the muSIMP language. (MNS)
