The computer assisted instruction (CAI) program "CAI Webdi," an instructional package for deaf education which utilizes CAI with audiovisual aids, was used in a comparative study of computer assisted and videotaped instruction. Based upon a formative evaluation of CAI Webdi with post secondary deaf students, an instructional television…

Published, as well as selected unpublished, articles dealing with programed instruction and computer-assisted instruction are cited in this bibliography. The articles are drawn from Education Index, Psychological Abstracts, Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC), Dissertation Abstracts, and 58 journals in the fields of psychology,…

If students have control over learning devices such as tape recorders, do they learn more? That was the question which this experiment tried to answer using three different situations. In situation A, the subject had no control over the tape playback once the lesson had been started. In situation B, the subject could stop the lesson to take notes…

The relative effectiveness of teaching methods using programmed instructional materials to teach musical percepts--phrase, theme, introduction, interlude, coda, binary form, ternary form, and rondo form--was studied. The 124 undergraduate elementary education majors used as subjects were found to be similar in aural perception, length of musical…

The effect of verbal and visual (color or black/white) coding strategies in self-paced instruction and test materials in facilitating student retention on different cognitive tasks was studied. The 176 college student subjects received instruction and testing using varied combinations of color or black/white materials. Instructional materials were…

The influence on learning of visuals accompanying self-paced text materials was investigated for students of varied reading comprehension ability levels. The use of varied degrees of realism and media presentation formats in facilitating learning on specific tasks was examined in order to clarify previous research, and to provide specific…

Factors contributing to the uniqueness of educational software are analyzed from contextual and textual perspectives. Contextual (or external) technological, economic, and social factors are examined briefly, and are identified as the dominant factors in the future evolution of educational software. Feedback and interactiveness, two significant…

The effectiveness of individual and group-administered library instruction using two presentation formats (slide-tape and programmed self-instruction) was tested using 39 randomly-selected high school students enrolled in average-ability sophomore English classes. Following a classroom unit introduction by the librarian for both groups, one group…

As part of the TV Ontario Telidon and Education Field Trials, a study was made of the application of the Telidon videotex systems to computer-assisted learning (CAL), including the future directions of these applications and differences in achievement between advanced and general-level students. Subjects were 129 middle- to upper-middle,…

A computer-aided instructional system has been developed which utilizes dynamic computer-controlled graphic displays and which requires student interaction with a computer simulation in an instructional mode. A numerical scheme has been developed for digital simulation of a uniform, distortionless transmission line with resistive terminations and…

The relationship between student personality traits and achievement with either mediated self-instruction or didactic large group instruction was investigated. Subjects were 159 female third-year nursing students at Loyola University of Chicago. Subjects received instruction on tracheostomy care and intravenous (I.V.) therapy through either a…

A study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of audiotape cassette technology in delivering professional, graduate-level distance education programs to adult audiences, and to compare this method with traditional classroom instruction. Specific elements of student-teacher rapport, pacing, and attitudes towards the audiotaped course were…

The three main articles describing "sub-projects" of the European Home Study Council (EHSC) research project, "Two-Way Communication in Correspondence Education," are short versions of papers presented by researchers at the University of Lund, Sweden, at the EHSC spring 1979 workshop. "Postal Two-Way Communication in…
