Lasater, Mary Beth – 1971
The design, development, and evaluation of a computer-assisted instruction (CAI) program in first-year college chemistry is described in this report. The program was centered around the concept of chemical equilibrium and used a systems approach with explicitly stated guidelines. The purpose of this experiment was not to measure the effectiveness…

Los Nietos Elementary School District, CA. – 1977
The Los Nietos Basic Skills Program was the first program of computer assisted instruction funded by the Emergency School Aid Act (ESAA). The system initially supported 17 typewriter-style terminals, but the number was later increased to 24. Because of software problems, the system changed companies and the courses changed to the following:…

Northwest Regional Educational Lab., Portland, OR. – 1975
The narrative portion of this report describes the results of a recent survey of the users of PLANIT, a computer language designed to make computer-assisted instruction easier and more accessible to the user who is inexperienced with computers. The survey shows that with recent revisions in the system, user satisfaction has increased, but areas of…

McKinlay, Bruce; Adams, Daniel – 1971
The Occupational Information Access System (OIAS) improves the accessibility of occupational labor market information for career planning. Its operation at Churchill High School is evaluated from several angels: the likes and dislikes of users; the effect of OIAS on users' knowledge of occupational information and on their career plans; why other…

Bruker, Robert M. – Journal of the National Association of College Admissions Counselors, 1978
Based on experience with a simplified admissions concept, Southern Illinois University is satisfied that the admissions process has been made easier for prospective students, high school counselors, and admissions staff. The computer does not make decisions regarding admission of a student, but reduced work loads for everyone concerned. (Author)

Kearsley, G.; And Others – Technological Horizons in Education, 1983
Over 50 major computer assisted instruction (CAI) projects are reviewed in terms of their theoretical and practical significance to education. Projects are analyzed in terms of eight categories: development of prototypes, conceptual demonstrations, major implementations/evaluations, dissemination, authoring languages/systems, intelligent CAI,…

Dik, David W.; Giacomi, Katherine W. – 1983
A project was conducted to introduce adults in a rural community in New York to Apple computers. Adults in the Addison School District of Steuben County were recruited through the county cooperative extension program and through high school and elementary school bulletins. Four courses were conducted with from 10 to 25 adults in each four-part…

Branch, Robert L. – 1972
A computerized model was developed to evaluate local vocational education programs in relation to the various functions of vocational education. A data base was generated using the local school districts' information and the output was designed for local self-evaluation use in further planning and review of the overall vocational education plan.…

Spring, Carl; Perry, Linda – 1980
A computer assisted instruction system for drilling educationally handicapped children in word decoding skills is described. A theoretical rationale for the objectives and design of the system, based on research from the psychology of reading literature, is discussed. In addition, certain system design constraints, applied in order to accommodate…

Bhat, U. Narayan; Nance, Richard E. – 1973
The effects of dynamic quantum allocation and swap-time variability on central processing unit (CPU) behavior are investigated using a model that allows both quantum length and swap-time to be state-dependent random variables. Effective CPU utilization is defined to be the proportion of a CPU busy period that is devoted to program processing, i.e.…
