Case, Karl E.; Fair, Ray C. – American Economic Review, 1985
The macroeconomic model in Ray C. Fair's textbook, "Specification, Estimation, and Analysis of Macroeconometric Models" (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1984), has been programed to run on a personal computer. The model consists of 128 equations. The model's potential for use as a teaching tool is discussed. (RM)

Higgins, John – CALICO Journal, 1983
When used to teach in a strictly instructional mode, as the language laboratory was, computers have limited application. However, when used for student manipulation during the learning process, the computer can enrich and diversify existing resources, increasing student exposure to materials. Moreover, this can be done with inexpensive, smaller…

Towne, Douglas M.; Munro, Allen – 1981
A general purpose maintenance trainer, which has the potential to simulate a wide variety of electronic equipments without hardware changes or new computer programs, has been developed and field tested by the Navy. Based on a previous laboratory model, the Generalized Maintenance Trainer Simulator (GMTS) is a relatively low cost trainer that…

Levy, C. Michael – 1979
Time, space, money, and educational opportunities were the four major factors considered in upgrading the individual teaching labs at the University of Florida. The program incorporates the use of single processor microcomputers to teach a variety of courses. Software developed for a course on cognition and perception will set up a ready to run…

Hunter, Beverly – Classroom Computer News, 1983
Discusses educational applications of computer simulation and model building for grades K to 8, with emphasis on the usefulness of the computer simulation language, micro-DYNAMO, for programing and understanding the models which help to explain social and natural phenomena. A new textbook for junior-senior high school students is noted. (EAO)

Saltinski, Ronald – Educational Technology, 1981
Examines the application of microcomputer statistics in social studies, and computer access and simulations in middle school environments. An interdisciplinary framework of curricula among social studies, science, and mathematics teachers with equal access to microcomputers and software programs is encouraged. (MER)

Gardner, Susan G.; Ellis, Burl D. – 1981
Seven microcomputer-based training systems with videotape players/monitors were installed to provide electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) simulation training, drill and practice, and performance testing for three courses at a fleet combat training center. Narrated videotape presentations of simulated and live jamming followed by a drill and…

Taylor, Peter – Economics, 1985
Two computer programs that simulate the multiplier and accelerator processes are described. The simulations can be used in college-level economics classes or by pupils using their own personal computers at home. Very little knowledge of programing is required to implement the simulations.
