The realisation of personalised e-learning to suit an individual learner's diverse learning needs is a concept which has been explored for decades, at great expense, but is still not achievable by non-technical authors. This research reviews the area of personalised e-learning and notes some of the technological challenges which developers may…

Research for Better Schools, Inc. (RBS) has three major components in its individualized learning program--Individually Prescribed Instruction (IPI), Automated Learning Management System (ALMS), and computer assisted instruction (CAI). IPI is an instructional system based on a specific set of educational objectives and has correlated to these…

Describes one system of computer managed instruction and how it facilitates the management and information processing needs for one widely implemented system of individualized instruction, Individually Guided Education (IGE). (JY)

Considers the structural components essential to programs of Indivisualized Instruction, leading to a model of a generalized computer managed instruction system. (JY)

The value in using the computer as a teaching machine is likely to be a function of how well it can adapt to individual differences in performance. The term adaptive'' is used to imply that the student is routed to material which follows different teaching strategies and that tasks are put together, on-line, to fit a particular student's…

A look at the Air Force Advanced Instructional System (AIS), which is a proposed computer-based multimedia system for the administration and management of individualized technical training on a large scale. (Author)

Creation of a computer-based interactive television system appears to have strong potential for instruction demanding motion, and for individualized instruction. If upon creation it does prove to have significant effect many questions will be raised, such as: How does effective development occur? What TV production techniques are most effective…

A look at how the computer was used to help teachers in Israel deal with students' individual learning problems. (HB)

Reviews the literature on Keller's Personalized System of Instruction (PSI), computer-assisted learning (CAL), computer conferencing (CC), and forms of instruction, then discusses how they can be integrated into a delivery system to enhance distance learning. Asynchronous individualized instruction and group instruction are also discussed. (28…

Design considerations for instruction for the deaf are discussed in the context of a specific CAI program to teach deaf children from 10 to 15 years old in a vocational or pre-vocational stream how to use a ruler. This includes the task, learner, and means analysis involved in the development of the program. The virtues of CAI as a medium or…

Describes an instruction system intended to assist students in improving their academic performance. Methods increase awareness of characteristics possessed by academically successful and unsuccessful students, as well as provide effective study skills information. Background, development, and use of the system are described. (RC)

The "intelligent videodisc"--a combination of advanced microprocessor, display, and storage technology--holds the potential for developing into a powerful instructional delivery system. In an inexpensive package, it could combine advanced computer-aided instruction (CAI) software power and display capability for audio, video, and textual…

Each semester students in the School of Health Sciences of Hunter College learn how to use a computer, how a computer system operates, and how peripheral equipment can be used. To overcome inadequate computer center services and equipment, programed subject matter and accompanying reference material were developed. The instructional system has a…

A preliminary instructional model suitable for lesson preparation for a Computerized Training System is described. Topics discussed include general course architecture, general course structure, and the training decision process. Guidelines for the design of the model are presented and information is provided on the adaptation of the model to…
