To develop research capabilities among public relations professionals, a research teaching program was begun as part of an advanced undergraduate course using an online computer terminal system to analyze up-to-date field survey data. Students use an interactive computer program designed to provide a linking system of live research data and active…

With the computer and the environments it makes possible, the author feels, we are on the threshold of being able to coalesce the study of learning and the prescription of instruction. To accomplish this, however, man must change his egocentric views concerning the value of traditional education. In the future, he predicts, an interdisciplinary…
