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 U-SAIL system is a practical approach to individualization of instruction in which a problem-solving process is employed to install a program in logical sequential phases. U-SAIL is a nationally validated, successfully replicated, cost-feasible system for individualization of instruction which can be implemented in a variety of settings with…

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)

This paper, which describes a computerized appointment scheduling system for individualized instruction from the point of view of the teachers and students who will use it, also includes more technical data for those readers who are familiar with the BASIC language. A guide to the logic, possible modifications, and a program listing are included,…

A progress report describes the design and demonstration of the computer-based Instructional Management Systems (IMS) for the period March 1, 1967, through February 29, 1968. The rationale and design considerations of IMS, development of its system components, functioning of the components during the first field trial, and data collected during…

This practicum report concerns the elementary mathematics management program initiated by the Coffee County, Georgia, School System which provides for diagnostic and prescriptive learning through the use of a continuous progress plan. Learning objectives' checklists (guides) were constructed for levels Readiness through 6c. Tests were constructed…

At Marshfield Senior High School, over one-fourth of the students were note profiting from the required social studies course, as evidenced by grades and attendance. As a result, a study was made to improve social study learning experiences in order to conform to eight assumptions about student needs, such as students need activity learning;…

Computer technology has been used since 1972 in the Madison, Wisconsin, public schools to control the flow of information required to support individualized instruction. Madison's computer-managed instruction system, MICA (Managed Instruction with Computer Assistance), operates interactively within individualized instruction programs to provide…

Attempting to define the optimal use of educational resources for large numbers of students, a research group at the University of Texas at Austin has adopted a system approach to curriculum development consisting of the following components: content, teacher, student, machine, and media. The first procedural step in the system is to define the…

The University of Maine at Augusta uses an individualized video-taped mathematics instructional system to eliminate students' math weaknesses before they attempt college math. The course, "1 Mth Developmental Mathematics," is part of the Educational Assistance Program and teaches basic skills and concepts of arithmetic and algebra. The…

A description is provided of a computer-based simulation of an instructional system which adapts the learning environment to the individual's unique attributes for processing information and for being motivated. The main purposes of the simulation are: 1) to introduce, as attributes for individualizing instruction, information processing variables…

The Instructional Support System for Occupational Education (ISSOE) project, conducted in New York, focused on (1) review of individualized education systems, (2) selection of appropriate occupational clusters, and (3) development and field testing of a system and materials.
