This report describes the underlying premises, operations and the pilot implementation of TICCIT (Time-Shared Interactive Computer-Controlled Information by Television) system which aims to facilitate instruction and learner control via the combined use of mini-computers and color television. TICCIT courseware is organized in a hierarchical…

This article describes the design and testing of a computer-based program that administers and scores the California Psychological Inventory. Results indicate a considerable difference between the mean CPI subscale results of the computer administered and traditionally administered groups, particularly for males. (Author)

Discusses potential advantages and problems involved in the use of computers by school systems. (JG)

Describes a computerized student registration and accounting system used at Joliet (Illinois) Junior College that combines a low-cost minicomputer with a conventional batch processing system. (JG)

Describes a system which utilizes computer analysis for rating and weighting resident selection variables to reduce random error and bias in the ranking of applicants. The result was satisfactory selection with significant savings of time and effort for the residency program faculty. (JT)

The use of computers in secondary school mathematics programs in five countries (England, Scotland, United States, Canada, and Australia) are discussed. (SD)

By the year 2000 the major way of learning at all levels, and in almost all subject areas, will be through the interactive use of computers. Many of the factors involved in this revolution in education are reviewed. (BB)

This evaluation represents two case studies in which the aim is to assess, while attempting to account for, the successes and failures of innovatory programs involving the use of minicomputer facilities in schools. (Author/MP)

A special topics elective course is described. The rationale and organization are discussed and examples of course content and student achievement are presented. (MP)

The PLATO Computer-Based Education System allows pictorial displays, detailed teacher-prescribed assignments, automatic adjustment of lesson difficulty to individual student performance, and powerful methods of response-interpretation in the teaching of aurally handicapped students. (Author)

Describes a method for teaching the technique of nearest-neighbor frequence analysis (NNFA) for testing the fidelity of template DNA replication. (Author/BB)

The successful Merit Computer Network is examined in terms of both technology and operational management. The network is fully operational and has a significant and rapidly increasing usage, with three major institutions currently sharing computer resources. (Author/CMV)

Outlines a strategy for science education aimed at the development of intuition concerning phenomena predicted by fundamental theories. The computer is used to build such intuition by providing a range of experiences not found in the everyday world or in the laboratory. (GA)

A computer-based narrative report integrating results from the Strong Vocational Interest Blank, the Opinion Attitude and Interest Survey, and the Cooperative English Test was compared with a standard profile format. No differences were found between the two methods for male and female. (Author)
