The world of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) involves a set o complex multi-role human/computer interactions. One important aspect of this interaction concerns the analysis of response data for scientific or instructional purposes. This paper describes the human/computer operational interactions that the personnel at the Florida State…

Describes a method of keeping records on each student's progress in an individualized instructional program in biology by utilizing punch cards. (BR)

Project IMPACT (Instructional Model Prototypes Attainable in Computerized Training) is a comprehensive advanced development project designed to produce an effective and economical computer administered instruction (CAI) system for the Army. In this paper, the rationale for conceptualizing the instructional process in a form implementable by…

THIS WORKSHOP ON THE COORDINATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM PRESENTED MATERIAL OF INTEREST TO PERSONNEL OF BOTH NEW AND ESTABLISHED COLLEGES. FOUR APPROACHES WERE DISCUSSED IN DETAIL--(1) THE USE OF A CORE PROGRAM TO PROVIDE A COMMON EXPERIENCE FOR ALL STUDENTS BEFORE THEY DECIDE BETWEEN AN OCCUPATIONAL COURSE OR HIGHER LEVEL…

WORKSHEETS FROM AN AUTO-INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM IN HIGH SCHOOL ALGEBRA WERE USED TO COMPARE DATA PROCESSING METHODS. IN THE SCRIBE SYSTEM, WORKSHEET DATA IS TRANSFERRED FIRST ONTO SPECIAL SHEETS REQUIRING RECORDING OF ERRORS AND OMISSIONS ONLY, AND THEN ONTO IBM CARDS. THE IBM CARDS CAN BE USED IN A SPECIAL IBM 1620 ITEM DIFFICULTY ANALYSIS PROGRAM.…

A study was conducted to determine the applicability of computer technology to the education and research activities of Air University. Twenty-five units of the University were studied in depth. The information thus collected provided the data required for analysis. Data analysis indicated the set of functional education and research activities…

Costs of computers are discussed, and the need for qualified computer science teachers is stressed. Descriptions of computer science programs at…

EDUCATION HAS BEEN SLOW IN FULLY UTILIZING ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING EQUIPMENT (EDP). EDUCATOR CONFIDENCE IN THE EDP HAS GROWN, HOWEVER, AS A RESULT OF THE SUCCESS OF ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING IN SCIENCE, INDUSTRY, AND OTHER PROFESSIONS. THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOLID STATE TRANSISTORIZED COMPUTERS HAS MADE POWERFUL DESK-SIZE COMPUTERS A REALITY AND…

WRITTEN FOR ADMINISTRATORS AND PLANNERS, THIS ANTHOLOGY IS CONCERNED WITH INFORMATION PRINCIPLES, EFFECTS, DESIGN, AND INTEGRATION OF SYSTEMS. CONCENTRATING ON THE CONSTRAINTS ON AUTOMATION AND ITS IMPACT ON EDUCATION, THE DOCUMENT CONSIDERS NEW USES FOR COMPUTERS IN REPORTING STATISTICS, SCHOOL CENSUS, ATTENDANCE COUNTING, GRADING, SCHEDULING,…

To minimize training time, an adaptive training model for optimizing path sequencing in computer aided instruction was developed. The model reduced a course to logical components or quanta, then plotted the material for possible sequences and evaluated each component quanta as to importance to subject assimilation. For implementation and testing,…
