A program utilizing computer managed instruction. (MM)

Case study based on the experience of the British National Coal Board shows how main industry systems were introduced after very full involvement of user departments and demonstrates how this contributed to the success of the computer installation. (Editor)

Discusses problem of criterion determination in elementary classroom, some problems relating to measurement of classroom climate on unitary "prediction criterion combinations, and a new method for integrating multiple criteria via computer analysis. Sample computerized reports included. (Author)

Report on a project at the United States Military Academy to produce listings of periodical holdings by computer. This was a modest-scale effort, and indicated that further automation is desirable. (JS)

With the aid of the programmed computer, the systems designer can analyze systems for which certain components have not yet been manufactured or even invented, and the power of solution-technique is greatly increased. (IR)

Current plotting techniques offer new ways for decisionmakers to look at data via graphs, pictures, maps, and 3-D models. (Author)

Discusses the use of a set of computer programs (FORTRAN IV) in an introductory mechanics course for science majors. One laboratory activity is described for determining the coefficient of restitution of a glider on an air track. A student evaluation for the lab is included in the appendix. (Author/TS)

Experiments are designed with application to phenomena of the real world for use in a third-quarter introductory college physics course in wave motion, sound, and light. The computer is used to process and analyze experimental data and to extend experimental observations through simulation. (Author/TS)

A game simulating an Einstein model of a crystal producing a Boltzmann distribution. Computer-made films present the results with large distributions showing heat flow and some applications to entropy. (TS)

Despite a small number of students, a limited budget, and a tight schedule, Eastern New Mexico University organized a computerized referral system that will offer ongoing benefits to employers and students, and aid the placement operation by acting as a repository for current information. (Author)

Reports a student-computer dialog for beginning or intermediate physics classes. This dialog enables the student to take some initiative in showing that energy conservation in one dimension is a consequence of the laws of motion. (DS)

The Management and Planning System (MAPS), designed to provide a computer-based information storage and retrieval system to aid school board decision makers, is described. (DB)
