Peer reviewedPavlick, Frank M. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1975
The use of stored programs for solving statistical problems was introduced into a statistics course. Contrary to expectation the students did not enjoy the course more. They did become more aware of the importance of statistics, however. (SD)

Lippey, Gerald, Ed. – 1974
The purpose of this book is to document in detail the benefits which can be realized by computer-assisted test construction and to aid educators interested in taking advantage of computers in providing tests and exercises. An overview of all the benefits and problems of computer-assisted test construction is given. Then separate chapters are…

A paper given at a conference on statistical computation discussed teaching statistics with computers. It concluded that computer-assisted instruction is most appropriately employed in the numerical demonstration of statistical concepts, and for statistical laboratory instruction. The student thus learns simultaneously about the use of computers…
