Slane, John – Programmed Learning and Educational Technology, 1979
Describes the principles, design, use, and preliminary evaluation of an 11-week in-service course based on an audiovisual format. Preliminary observation indicates a continuing demand by teachers for access to the course, and that it is capable of changing teacher behavior in ways consistent with the course aims. (Author/JEG)

Holmberg, Borje – Programmed Learning and Educational Technology, 1985
Develops a theory of mediated learning from practice. Problems inherent in developing theories are reviewed; general assumptions are identified; and a descriptive theory is generated that identifies favorable factors facilitating learning. Factors are checked for consistency and used to generate hypotheses for collecting research data capable of…

Ager, Alastair – Programmed Learning and Educational Technology, 1986
Suggests programming structures of computer assisted instruction for teaching severely learning disabled students be related to an established educational model. Use of performance contoured programming (PCP), based upon behavioral model of precision teaching, is discussed and contrasted with cognitive programming approaches. PCP applications and…

Hobbs, D. J. – Programmed Learning and Educational Technology, 1987
Description of a study which formulated a model of the cognitive processes involved in learning statistics material via computer assisted learning (CAL) focuses on mode of presentation (aural or visual), sequence of the material, and previous mathematical experience. Textual analysis is discussed and implications of the results for design of CAL…
