This study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of CAI vs. classroom lecture for computer science at ICS level. The objectives were to compare the learning effects of two groups with class room lecture and computer assisted instruction studying the same curriculum and the effects of CAI and CRL in terms of cognitive development. Hypothesis of…

THIS SURVEY RELATES ESTIMATES ON (1) AMOUNT AND SOURCE OF COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY EXPENDITURES FOR COMPUTERS IN RESEARCH AND INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES, (2) AVAILABILITY OF COMPUTERS AND DISTRIBUTION OF RESEARCH AND INSTRUCTIONAL USAGE IN GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC AREAS, AND (3) DEGREE PROGRAMS OFFERED IN COMPUTER SCIENCE. A STRATIFIED…

Two sequences of courses at the University of South Carolina offer liberal arts students an introduction to computers and to the relationship between technology and the humanities. These provide training in rigorous thinking and new means of probing the record of human experience. The lower level sequence consists of a general computer…
