Peer reviewedFerguson, David L.; Henderson, Peter B. – Machine-Mediated Learning, 1987
Designed initially for use in college computer science courses, the model and computer-aided instructional environment (CAIE) described helps students develop algorithmic problem solving skills. Cognitive skills required are discussed, and implications for developing computer-based design environments in other disciplines are suggested by…

Peer reviewedFriedman, Edward A.; And Others – Machine-Mediated Learning, 1987
Reviews articles appearing in this issue, which focus on the influence of computers on teaching design to undergraduates, and discusses involvement of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), EDUCOM, the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE), and the FIPSE Technology Study Group (FTSG) in work that led to these papers.

Peer reviewedBalzano, Gerald J. – Machine-Mediated Learning, 1987
Explores the use of computers in design-oriented learning and the need to reconstruct curriculum to accommodate the new technology. Mathematics, psychology, and music are highlighted, a musical computer design environment called Streamer is described, and implications of a design-oriented computer environment for programming and the structure of…

Peer reviewedEhrmann, Stephen C.; Balestri, Diane – Machine-Mediated Learning, 1987
Describes ways in which computers are used to help undergraduates learn through designing, i.e., various creative activities. Highlights include projects sponsored by the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) and the FIPSE Technology Study Group (FTSG), the importance of design in curriculum, and problems with teaching and…

Peer reviewedPeterson, Nils S.; And Others – Machine-Mediated Learning, 1987
This discussion of teaching science as a design activity emphasizes open-ended problem solving. Highlights include the relationship between teachers and students; hypotheses as solutions; and descriptions of four microworlds, or computer simulations, in chemistry, geography, physiology, and genetics which use graphic interfaces. (LRW)

Peer reviewedStreibel, Michael; And Others – Machine-Mediated Learning, 1987
Describes an advice-giving computer system being developed for genetics education called MENDEL that is based on research in learning, genetics problem solving, and expert systems. The value of MENDEL as a design tool and the tutorial function are stressed. Hypothesis testing, graphics, and experiential learning are also discussed. (Author/LRW)
