One of the great strengths of Jim Kaput's research program was his relentless drive towards scaling up his innovative approach to teaching the mathematics of change and variation. The SimCalc mission, "democratizing access to the mathematics of change," was enacted by deliberate efforts to reach an increasing number of teachers and students each…

This project experimentally evaluated the computer-based instruction (CBI) technology of the PLATO IV system. The approach was to conduct a set of eight research studies in different Navy training application areas. Short titles of the studies were: (1) remedial math, (2) oscilloscope simulation, (3) sine ratio, (4) multimeter simulation, (5)…

A four-year research program was conducted on the application of learning strategies in the context of computer-based military training. It entailed an effort to define student learning strategies and skill training needs, evaluation of instructional procedures, and development of training products. Learning strategies and skill maintenance…

This review of the research on the cognitive effects of computer-assisted instruction begins with an overview of the ACCCEL (Assessing Cognitive Consequences of Computer Environments for Learning) research program at the University of California at Berkeley, which consists of several interrelated studies examining the acquisition of such higher…
