Meyer, Jerome E. – Industrial Education, 1983
Discusses the use of microcomputers for technical skills training, particularly in auto mechanics. Indicates that the major reasons for implementing the method are time and money: The graduate technician is on the job sooner, thereby reducing the cost of the computer-based training. (JOW)

Peer reviewedBecker, Henry Jay – NASSP Bulletin, 1982
Educators must think clearly about how they want students' education to improve, what computers can do to help, how that assistance can be accomplished, and whether any of this is affordable. (Author/JM)

Otto, Lee – Classroom Computer Learning, 1984
Examines such assumptions about the educational benefits of computers in schools as freeing education from its historic limitation as a labor-sensitive industry and allowing for more individualization of instruction. Also considers the effectiveness of software programs in the classroom as well as computer costs and cost effectiveness. (JN)

Shatzer, Linda – Performance and Instruction, 1987
Presents case study on personal computer teleconferencing to compare its cost effectiveness with that of on-site training. A model is described that uses a checklist for decision making in three areas: (1) initial considerations, (2) planning considerations, i.e., design elements, and (3) technical considerations, i.e., review and selection…

Carlson, Marthena; Dostaler, Ann – 1984
The computer-assisted learning (CAL) pilot project in Canadian penitentiary schools involved the use of computer courseware supplied from a central computer via telephone lines to terminals in the schools. Courseware was in three curricular areas: mathematics, English language arts, and the BASIC programming language. The evaluation was conducted…

The Center for the Study of Evaluation Systems Project focuses on assessing the costs and impacts of managing testing, evaluation, and instructional (T/E/I) systems through a collection of nine papers: (1) "School District Evaluation Offices: Are They Worth the Money?," by Richard C. Williams and Pam McGranahan; (2) "How Two…

Peer reviewedPressman, Israel; Rosenbloom, Bruce – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1984
Describes and evaluates costs of hardware, software, training, and maintenance for computer assisted instruction (CAI) as they relate to total system cost. An example of an educational system provides an illustration of CAI cost analysis. Future developments, cost effectiveness, affordability, and applications in public and private environments…
