A Lattice Representational Definition of a Hierarchy of Instructional Processors Usable in Educational Courseware.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
De Diana, I. P. F.; Vos, H. J. – Computers and Education, 1988
Explains how a model of an instructional process can be translated into an instructional processor that can be used to develop courseware for computer assisted instruction. The General Systems Theory is discussed as a conceptual framework, and models based on three levels of the decision-making process are described. (12 references) (LRW)
