The introduction of an instructional computing strategy at Duke University that led to identification of three levels of user subsets and establishment of equipment clusters is described. Uses of the system in establishing computer literacy and special applications in chemistry, computer science, and the social sciences are reviewed. (MP)

This article describes how one commercially available system, the Classroom Teacher Support System (CTSS), has been adapted to an individualized nursing program for computer assisted testing. (RAO)

Explains Project Simu-school, a computer program that can predict enrollment, needed buildings and programs, and anticipated costs. (JM)

Describes the computer management system used in teaching a self-paced elementary algebra course at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga including the hardware, database, principal management program, and some report generation using an inquiry language. The source code of the management program is appended. (Author/CMV)

Demonstrates how a dynamic programing algorithm can be developed to segment unusually long written inscriptions from the Indus Valley Civilization. Explains the problem of segmentation, discusses the dynamic programing algorithm used, and includes tables which illustrate the segmentation of the inscriptions. (GEA)

A project at the University of California at Berkeley is aimed at creating computerized catalogs of special collections throughout the institution, from departments to museums, to improve access for both scholars and laypeople. The project combines imaging and text records. Eventually, 80 or more collections may be included. (MSE)

This brief paper presents background information and a description of the organizational structure and educational objectives of the Office of Computer-Based Instruction, formerly the Delaware PLATO project, whose name was changed to reflect the University's ongoing commitment to providing leadership in educational computing following the…

Fox Valley Technical Institute (FVTI) has developed an approach to education which emphasizes competency-based, round-the-clock education entailing short terms, flexible class schedules, and individualized instruction and which has as its focus strong computer support at classroom, technical, and management levels. The college provides 6,000…

Proper planning and the use of current computer technology can provide a mechanism not only for coordinating and directing a broad-based recruitment program, but also for compiling a detailed database on applicant and prospective student markets. At West Shore Community College, these objectives were addressed through the development of an on-line…

The software cooperative described in this report was established to provide each of the member colleges of the Massachusetts Board of Regional Community Colleges (MBRCC) with a cost-effective computer-assisted records system. After a brief outline of the planning efforts undertaken by the MBRCC in developing and testing the software system, the…

This report describes MODIA (a Method of Designing Instructional Alternatives), and assesses its utility for planning instruction. MODIA is a computer-based interactive program that helps planners construct a blueprint of instruction, analyze the operation of the instruction, and estimate its cost. It was developed for the Air Force Air Training…

This appendix describes the Integrated Communications Experiment (ICE), a comprehensive computer software capability developed for the ComField Project. Each major characteristic of the data processing system is treated separately: natural language processing, flexibility, noninterference with the educational process, multipurposeness,…

The Washington State Migrant Education Program legally defines migratory children as interstate, intrastate, or formerly migratory. Program goals are intended to serve the legislative mandate that requires establishment of "...programs and projects to meet the special education needs of migratory children of migratory agricultural workers and…

The project's basic goals were to develop and implement a comprehensive program with a potential for statewide implementation, incorporating career education philosophy, and provide a means for other school districts to assess the worth of career education and develop techniques for implementing their own programs. Product objectives outlined the…

A package of social science programs--Sociology Library (SOLIB)--for small computers provides users with a partial solution to the problems stemming from the heterogeneity of social science applications programs. SOLIB offers a uniform approach to data handling and program documentation; all its programs are written in standard FORTRAN for the IBM…
