Argues that teachers can cope with new technology by relating innovative uses of technology to old uses of technology. Compares the impact of laser printers on the form of student writing to the impact of liquid paper (correction fluid); and compares the impact of computer-supported classrooms to earlier efforts to bring typewriters into the…

This report consists of three major sections. The first, a progress report for the period of 1983 to 1986 on the introduction of new information technologies into education among the member states of the Commission of European Communities, includes an overview of activities carried out in the member states and at the Community level, an appraisal…

This monograph defines and describes research in the study of adoption of electronic text services in higher education institutions. Electronic text here includes text and graphic information encoded and transmitted via broadcast, signal, or cable, under user control. It places the diffusion of electronic text in higher education within the…

Discussion of technology infusion in higher education focuses on whether such infusion is necessary, on barriers to more rapid expansion of technology assisted learning (both organizational barriers and individual resistance), and on changes needed to speed infusion, including changes at the system level and those to be made by individual faculty.…

An outgrowth of a conference of developmental faculty and administrators interested in exploring computer-based education, this monograph presents 26 papers devoted to microcomputer applications in college basic skills programs.

This paper analyzes ways in which the new, relatively cheap, user friendly technology and associated software is changing the way that accounting is being taught. Techniques that have been available, in principle, for years, are now widely available. The newer techniques stress decision making for planning, and, to a lesser extent, control, in…

Describes the design of a four-part curriculum model for integrating computer-based technology into teacher education courses. The model includes existing course content objectives, computer-based technology practices, computer guidelines, and an evaluation item. The model was applied in required courses, and students evaluated their experiences.…

The use of computer technology in solving critical problems in education is described in three case studies. The "high tech" case is considered by Donald Thursh of the University of Illinois, who is creating a computerized textbook of pathology. The organization of an electronic text can be individualized to suit an instructor's…

This guidebook is based on the belief that e-business applications will transform academia and academic support experiences, with learners participating in distributed learning environments that mix physical and virtual learning resources in many combinations, and it offers insights into the strategies and planning needed to develop a college…
