Granger, Mary J.; McGarry, Nina – 2002
One of the critical components in the curriculum is evaluation of students' knowledge or the amount they learned in the course. Over time, the assessment process has not changed significantly; it is only recently that university instructors are turning to technology for assistance in this labor-intensive task. There are disadvantages and…

Johnson, James W. – Technological Horizons in Education, 1980
Based on a survey of several thousand department heads and instructors in ten disciplines, eight conclusions regarding the current use of computers for instructional purposes are discussed. One conclusion appears to be that many schools make little or no use of computing in undergraduate instruction. (JN)

Ben-David, Arie; Ben-Shalom, Uri – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1994
Describes an expert system designed to simplify evaluation of teacher-authored high school matriculation examination forms for official recognition. Because conventional knowledge-engineering methods were inadequate, a learning-by-example model called the Ordinal Learning Model was utilized. Responses from the system's users during a two-year beta…
