Jay, Timothy B. – Educational Technology, 1983
Focuses on five human information processing abilities which cognitive psychologists anticipate must be accounted for in order to develop good computer courseware--memory and attention; language or text characteristics; graphics and visual processing; cognitive characteristics of user; feedback to users. A 31-item bibliography is included. (EJS)

Clayson, James – Impact of Science on Society, 1982
The difficulty many students have in solving complex problems stems not from a lack of mathematical skill but from an inability to visualize the problem. An appropriately-structured computer game may assist students in achieving this visualization and in solving problems better. A heuristic approach in programing one game is provided. (Author/JN)

Glenn, Patricia D. – Creative Computing, 1982
Reviews an authoring system for courseware development (Applesoft Basic) consisting of a programed template allowing preparation of instructional units composed of text, questions, and graphics. A higher-priced version includes a game. Geology, oceanography, space science, meteorology, human/plant anatomy, and cells/genetics diagrams are available…

Strazdon, Maureen E. – Drexel Library Quarterly, 1981
Describes VisiCalc, a programmed package for use with the Apple II microcomputer and discusses the use of this program for two library tasks--statistical analysis and budgeting. System features are described in the context of these applications and six tables illustrating system output are appended. Additional resources are listed. (RAA)

Mathes, Stanley L. – Creative Computing, 1982
It is felt that all the basic programing concepts can be taught by giving students experience with graphics. Students are viewed to be working on problems that truly interest them, rather than on the standard fare presented in most courses. A description of a class and a graphing program are included. (MP)

Morris, J. Richard – 1982
This project was designed to improve the graphing competency of students in elementary algebra, intermediate algebra, and trigonometry courses at Virginia Commonwealth University. Computer graphics programs were designed using an Apple II Plus computer and implemented using Pascal. The software package is interactive and gives students control…

Piestrup, Ann M. – 1982
This paper describes the origins of a corporation producing computer software for children, lists criteria for software design, and describes work done with computer graphics for children. The corporation, called The Learning Company, had its origins in a project set up to create playful learning programs for children ages 3 to 13. The project was…

Fisher, Patience; And Others – 1980
This guide was prepared to help teachers of the Lincoln Public School's introductory computer programming course in BASIC to make the necessary adjustments for changes made in the course since the purchase of microcomputers and such peripheral devices as television monitors and disk drives, and the addition of graphics. Intended to teach a…

Goldman, Gary S. – COED Transactions, 1980
Computer graphics systems typically produce a single, machine-like character font. At most, these systems enable the user to (1) alter the aspect ratio (height-to-width ratio) of the characters, (2) specify a transformation matrix to slant the characters, and (3) define a virtual pen table to change the lineweight of the plotted characters.…

Frederick, Dean K.; Waag, Gary L. – COED Transactions, 1980
A program has been written for the interactive computer graphics facility at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute that is designed to assist the user in learning the mathematical technique of convolving two functions. Because convolution can be represented graphically by a sequence of steps involving folding, shifting, multiplying, and integration, it…

Banghart, Frank W.; And Others – 1970
A computerized system, developed at Florida State University, is designed to locate students and resources on a geographic network. Using addresses of resources and students as input, the system quickly and accurately locates the addresses on a grid and creates a map showing their distribution. This geographical distribution serves as an…
