Examines the impact of computer managed instruction (CMI) on classroom instructional management. Views the Wisconsin Design for Reading Skill Development and Developing Mathematical Processes curricula within the CMI model developed at the Wisconsin Research and Development Center. (Author/WM)

Experimenting with curriculum shifts, expanded computer roles, new plans for student involvement, and specialized guidance programs, individual schools are turning up some thoughtful and effective solutions for old classroom problems. (Ed./KJ)

Reports on a project in the tri-county metropolitan Portland, Oregon area designed to help educators answer the questions: "What is to be learned?""How is it to be learned?" and "Has it actually been learned?" Educational goals were produced for use in management and planning, and coded for retrieval from a computer…

An overview and philosophical discussion of the current use of instructional technology in naval training. This essay focuses on the process of instructional development and establishes a parallel between the concepts of instructional systems development and general management theory. (VT)

The first section of this guide presents the Individualized Career Education Planning (ICEP) system, which provides major organizing and implementing components for comprehensive, individualized career guidance and instruction including: ICEP forms for recording career development goals and short-term objectives, guidance and instructional…

Discusses an audio-tutorial anatomy and physiology course which was no more expensive to establish and operate than a traditional course. Topics include development of audio-tutorial materials, construction of facilities, space use, staffing, development of computer programs, and computer costs. (Author/JN)

The computerized Painless Accountability System is a performance objective system from which instructional programs are developed. Three main simplified behavioral response levels characterize this system: (1) cognitive, (2) psychomotor, and (3) affective domains. Each of these objectives are classified by one of 16 descriptors. The second major…

Data are used from the individualized math component of an operating educational system to validate the basic assumptions underlying EDSIM 1, a computer simulation model that traces the interaction of three probabilistic elements in an educational program and produces synthetic output regarding this interaction in terms of student time in the…

A prototype computer-based instructional management system is described which is designed to individualize instruction in an on-going school situation. The prototype consists of three basic components: a set of instruments and techniques for assessing student needs, a bank of curriculum packets related to assessed needs, and a computer-based…

Although computer applications in the commercial and scientific realms have expanded tremendously, only a small number of the computers in the public schools are utilized for instructional purposes, and an even smaller number are capable of CAI applications. The terminal objective of Project REFLECT is the design of a model plan which could be…

This report presents findings from four pilot projects introducing computer-based individualization in adult basic education programming. The report includes a description of the andragogic and developmental studies underpinnings supporting the principal project goals of responsiveness in the learning environment and choices for students. Elements…

Costs and production requirements for developing "mainline," as distinguished from "adjunct" computer-assisted instruction (CAI), are discussed. "Mainline" programs are complete systems which teach an entire course, while "adjunct" programs supplement a regular course. Mainline CAI programs are expensive. A course equivalent to a three-credit…

A computer-based system--the Educational Assembly System for Student Executed Educational Design (EASSEED)--is used to generate individualized curricula for students with varying needs and goals. It combines advances in management and computer technology to define the processes of curriculum development and thus moves toward an explicit…

This report describes the cooperative activities of the New York State Education Department, Cornell Institute for Research and Development, and Riverside Research Institute in a two-phase occupational education development project. (Phase 1 involved the designing, implementing, and evaluating of modularized curriculum for occupational education…
