Gallini, Joan K. – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1985
An instructional strategy is constructed and implemented to develop a BASIC computer program for rule learning. The strategy identifies conditions of the instructional sequence including introduction to familiar vocabulary, designing an advance organizer, presenting the defining rule, providing examples, and learner generation cues. Advantages to…

Nelson, Charles D. – 1978
Computers are intrinsically fascinating to students once they learn what materials are available and become familiar with working on the terminals. The Plato Health Science Network contains an extensive catalog of lessons of interest to medical students and is available to anyone on request; this has resulted in several hundred hours per week of…
