Hardware for CAL!
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rogers, David F., Ed.; Smith, P. R., Ed. – Computers and Education, 1984
Hardware for computer-assisted learning is discussed in three papers. Two papers report on projects using computer graphics, one for teaching structural analysis to university students and the other to teach graph concepts at the secondary level. Guidelines for selecting microcomputers focus on analyzing applications and matching them with…

The Laser Videodisc for Interactive CAL in Pathology.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mercer, Jane; And Others – Computers and Education, 1989
Describes a system that combines computer-assisted learning (CAL) with interactive video. It was designed in England for an undergraduate pathology course. Hardware, based on a BBC microcomputer, is described; the design of interactive graphics is explained; and the tutorial design, using an authoring system, is discussed. (26 references) (LRW)
