Discusses the programs and packages of a computer-assisted instruction project called Computational Physics Teaching Laboratory, in which students solve simulated physics at a computer terminal with visual display. (MLH)

Begun on an experimental basis in March 1975, the ongoing PLATO project at the University of Delaware has become an established part of the University's academic program. This descriptive report is divided into three sections: (1) project history and development, including organization, utilization, instructor and author training, and projections…

A series of graphically-oriented computer-assisted instructional (CAI) lessons in elementary beam theory has been developed for an undergraduate course in solid mechanics. The lessons were implemented on the PLATO CAI system at the University of Illinois; the system included a graphical display unit (CRT) and a CDC 1604 computer. The first phase…

Described are eight microcomputer systems that are suitable for computer-aided instruction (CAIDI) in chemistry. Specific instructional applications are described to illustrate the wide variety of systems available and their adaptability to problems faced by chemistry teachers. (BT)

This document explains the TUTOR language which is used by teachers to create or author lesson materials on the PLATO IV computer-based education system. After an introductory section, the second section explains how to display text and line drawings to students. The third section introduces subroutines, and it is followed by explanations of…
