Describes development of a program instituted at Paisley College of Technology (Scotland) which used microcomputers in undergraduate mathematics instruction. Discussion of the software production phase of this program and project objectives includes descriptions of the program's microcomputer network and one computer program which was developed.…

Discusses interactive videodisc technology (IVD) development and potential; education and training capabilities specifically related to developing countries; costs; technical capabilities; likely applications which justify IVD's initial programming expenses; specific IVD applications relative to remedial mathematics and science education, job…

The Computer Assisted Teaching Unit (CATU) was instituted at Queen Mary College in 1973 to provide aid to the Faculty of Engineering in developing and implementing computer-based learning procedures to support the undergraduate teaching program. Earlier computer programs had simulated electrical and nuclear systems to give students the opportunity…

The proceedings of the workshop on the interface between humans and machines in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) include the texts of four papers, descriptions of the software demonstrated, an information exchange section, a report of the plenary session, a comment on the workshop, a list of participants, a review of current research in…

Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) has been studied in Japan since about 1963. However, materials for computer-assisted English second language instruction at the college level are not highly developed. A 1985 experiment in CAI at one Japanese university used materials developed by faculty, staff, and students. Instruction using CAI at Doshisha…

An 18-month project was conducted to adapt the resource room version of the National Center for Research in Vocational Education's Career Planning System (CPS) for delivery through microcomputers. Specific goals of the project were as follows: to adapt a print-based product previously found successful with middle school students who displayed mild…

The Vermont Institute for Self Reliance (VISR) conducted a Basic Educational Skills for Training (BEST) program, a national demonstration project in workplace literacy, from April 1990 to March 1992. BEST provided learner-centered, context-based literacy instruction onsite, on company time, at two General Electric (GE) Aircraft Engines Rutland…

An 18-month project was conducted to create a microcomputer version of the National Center for Research in Vocational Education's Career Planning System (CPS) designed for use with mildly mentally retarded, learning disabled, and behaviorally handicapped middle school students. Separate formative and summative evaluations measured the…
