The report describes the Classroom Information and Computing Service (CLICS), a pedagogical computer-based information system that is used as a case study in the subject "Information Systems" in the Dept. of Electrical Engineering at M.I.T. CLICS is an abstraction of the Multiplexed Information and Computing Service (MULTICS) that is being…

This is the third in a series of reports which the PLATO Services Organization is publishing to keep users up to date on curricular developments on the PLATO system. Materials are listed here under 71 general subject matter areas. The report presents first a list of all subject areas and instructional levels in which PLATO lesson development is in…

MONIFORMS are partially completed coding formats in the TUTOR language used to create frequently used question types such as multiple choice, matching, and constructed response questions. The author adds information related to specific questions and responses, using one of several options available for tailoring a question to meet specific…

The goals of the Digital Systems Education Project (DISE) include the development and distribution of educational/instructional materials in the digital systems area. Toward that end, this document contains three reports: (1) A FORTRAN IV Design Program for Low-Pass Butterworth and Chebychev Digital Filters; (2) A FORTRAN IV Design Program for…

Good computer simulations are those which make good use of the capability of the computer and which promote student decisions based on logic, observation, and their knowledge of the real world. (MP)

With support from the National Science Foundation and the University of California, the Physics Computer Development Project have produced in the last six years computer based material in a wide variety of modes. Among the major products are science learning dialogs, graphic additions to APL (A Programming Language), the underlying software, and…

A technique is described for teaching a second course in statistics at the undergraduate level, but is equally applicable to a first course. The procedure involves the use of individualized data sets, computer prepared to student requests. A package of five programs is presented, which generates the data. They include programs for sampling from…

A look at the use of the computer in instructional areas where speed, accuracy and recall are important. Practice sets for drill are discussed. (Author/HB)

Some uses of a computer in a high school statistics class are presented. The increased student involvement in the lesson is seen as a result of the line demonstration of the mathematical concepts involved. A special application program written in BASIC is included. (MP)

The television screen under computer control is seen as a very compelling focus of attention that can be harnessed and used to good educational effect. It is stated that the most vital and difficult task in curriculum development is to make useful material accessible to teachers. (MP)

The University of Texas is heavily involved with computers in instruction. The computation center, with a Control Data 6600 and 6400, has a great number of course programs and a high usage level. With the NSF a southwest regional computer network was established to share in these programs, and there are 23 institutions currently involved. It is…

This document sets forth the procedures necessary to understand and utilize the internal characteristics of the Automated Instructional Management System (AIMS), a computer-based system for the management of educational processes. In this manual, overall design concepts governing the development of AIMS are specified; and overview of its…

This manual for the Automated Instructional Management System - Version III includes source statement flowcharts for the system input control program and 12 system input subprograms, the operational input control program and 7 subprograms, and the output report generator and 19 subprograms. For related documents, see SE 016 059 through SE 016 064.…

This second program logic manual for the Automated Instructional Management System - Version III contains source statement listings for 23 programs of the system. For related materials, see SE 016 059 through SE 016 064. (DT)

An excerpt is given of a document prepared for the Project EXTEND Information Exchange listing inexpensive reference materials and periodicals on use of computing in teaching and learning activities. (RM)
