This report describes the CAMPUS-V, a computer based simulation model with an ability to represent "reality" in considerable detail. CAMPUS is an acronym for Comprehensive Analytical Methods for Planning University Systems, and was developed by the Institute for Policy Analysis in the University of Toronto. This report briefly discusses:…

The purpose of this report is to aid the use of the computer simulation model, CAMPUS-M, in 4 specific areas: (1) the conceptual modeling of the institution; (2) the preparation of machine readable input data; (3) the preparation of simulation and report commands for the model; and (4) the actual running of the program on a CDC 6600 computer.…

A discussion on the impact of the information explosion on society provides the context for this paper's examination of procedures for designing the first stage of a systematic plan to incorporate computer technologies in elementary and secondary schools. Based on the rationale that a computer literate faculty must be available to make decisions…

Presents an approach to making the product of observation systems readily available to all members of a school system. The input system consists of three OpScan recording sheets, the output system of print-outs for each recording sheet as well as summary data. This system gives the teacher an opportunity to change his behavior based on data about…

The general goal of this research and development program was to facilitate man-machine communication in areas of high military impact, including on-line computing in communications, command, and control. Highlights of this research include: identification of major causes of man-machine communication difficulty for the computer-naive; discovery of…

Preliminary specifications of major equipment and programing systems characteristics for a remote terminal central computing facility serving 25-75 secondary schools are presented. Estimation techniques developed in a previous feasibility study were used to delineate workload demands for four model regions with different numbers of institutions…

A review of the literature on automated psychological testing shows that most research and development in this area is based on a one-test, one-psychologist model. In this model, the functions of test administration, scoring, and interpretation are thought out in terms of specific tests presented on an individualized basis. However, more complete…

The economic and technical feasibility of providing a remote terminal central computing facility to serve a group of 25-75 secondary schools and colleges was investigated. The general functions of a central facility for an educational cluster were defined to include training in computer techniques, the solution of student development problems in…
