Bell, Trudy E. – Personal Computing, 1983
Reviews four research studies which indicate the effectiveness of computer assisted instruction (CAI) in helping students learn. Results suggest that CAI gives students opportunities to practice what they have learned, may help (in some circumstances) teach better study habits, and that CAI seemed to motivate students. (JN)

Couch, James V.; Stoloff, Michael L. – Teaching of Psychology, 1989
Reports the results of a national survey of academic psychologists relative to the use of microcomputers. Finds that there is an increase in the use of microcomputers for instructional purposes and that such use was unrelated to department size. Discusses the brands of computers most often used and the ways software is utilized. (KO)
