Guidelines for the integration of effective and efficient practice into the lecture format of higher education curricula are outlined and discussed. An algorithm for incorporating active learning into lecture courses is provided, with examples and discussion of possible constraints. (four references) (EA)

Presents essential questions to be answered before planning and developing instructional programs and recommends that instructional designers be familiar with microcomputers as learning tools; use sequence, choice, and/or repetition structures in constructing programs; use flowcharting or screen mapping for a visual presentation of the program's…

This report defines the functions of computer-managed learning (CML) as (1) test generation, correction, and analysis; (2) record keeping and reporting; (3) routing learners through a set of learning activities; and (4) charting learner progress for a variety of purposes. It then describes the hardware characteristics and configuration of three…

A review of the major components of lesson planning and two conventional planning methods provides background for this explanation of the type of planning required when designing instruction for teaching with the computer. This "formal planning" includes the identification and articulation of the locical sequencing of both instructional…

This paper describes a model for the systematic design, development, and validation of alternative instructional modules, by incorporating the basic concepts underlying Aptitude Treatment Interaction (ATI) analyses. The proposed working model is based on the premise that the ATI concept is best applied, not in isolation, but as an integral part of…

This guide gives step-by-step directions for authoring computer-assisted instruction materials as well as advice on planning, designing, coding, documenting, and evaluating computer assisted courseware. The importance of prospective courseware designers having a sound background in both educational theory and practice is also discussed, and…

This book providing direction for the planning, designing, and writing of programs for computer assisted instruction (CAI) includes chapters on the role of computers in instruction, the BASIC programing language, flowcharting, terminal commands, displaying instruction, dialogues, learning theories, the process of instruction, and the planning of…

Strategies are presented for the following classes of training objectives: recall of knowledge, use of verbal information, rule learning and use, decision making, detecting, classifying, identifying symbols, voice communication, recall of procedures and positioning, steering and guiding, continuous movement, and performance of gross motor skills.…
