We developed and tested a smartphone-based intervention, FutureU, that aims to stimulate future-oriented thinking and behavior by strengthening the degree to which people identify with their future self.

Fear of technology is seen as a growing problem in education as the use of computers expands. The anxiety associated with using computers in various common forms can cause physical symptoms, discomfort, and inefficiency. Individual counseling and group workshops can be effective treatment. (MSE)

Three blind university students used a computer-generated tachistoscope-like display of electronic braille in an effort to increase reading speeds. Results did not indicate conclusively that such a program is effective in increasing reading speed while maintaining comprehension or in maintaining speed following the withdrawal of treatment.

This paper reports on two related instructional intervention projects: one completed and the other ongoing. The first involved a "Tutored-Videotaped-Instruction" (TVI) strategy in a three-course calculus sequence; the second, an NSF-funded project using microcomputers, television, tutoring, testing, and related technologies and methods…

This paper describes the use of an automated performance support system, the Mental Retardation-Expert (MR-E), in the training of 16 student clinicians to think "functionally" about undesirable behaviors of persons with mental retardation or developmental disabilities (MR/DD). The MR-E models human expertise in behavioral diagnosis and…
