The present study devised a computerized assignment-by-preference algorithm for a ninth-grade exploratory curriculum. The problem addressed was one of maximally mapping all students into 8 of 12 vocational programs in terms of their preferences for studying each of the programs and the assignment restrictions established by the school. To minimize…

Pratt, Simon – 1978
This experiment in using computer-assisted curriculum planning in two British secondary schools tested the practicability of using computers not only in the annual compilation of school timetables but, more radically, in the characterization of constraints that "knock-on" from one year's timetable to the next. The Oxford School…

Oakford, Robert V.; Allen, Dwight W. – 1968
In 1965, a 3-year developmental program was begun to determine the desirability of modular scheduling for comprehensive and vocational schools and to investigate the impact of such scheduling on 18 secondary schools. During this time more than 15,000,000 data were provided by the schools. The Stanford School Scheduling System, a computer program…

New instructional time blocks and curriculum designs are suggested as alternatives to traditional school schedules with their fixed time periods for traditional course offerings. The rational for variable modular scheduling and the application of computer technology to school scheduling are presented. Applications of variable modular scheduling…

To help investigators become more aware of hidden limitations in their work, some important supportive systems to the application of interactive computing in education are described. Support systems are grouped under the headings of technical support, pedagogical and logistical support, and administrative support and are further illustrated by…
