A look at one programing language, Fortran, for use in CAI. (HB)

Implementing the use of the computer in the classroom may raise all sorts of problems, all of which the author has encountered in stimulating interest in the educational applications of minicomputers. (Author)

The main features of a general-purpose experimental language are described, followed by an account of its implementation. (Author)

A discussion of the prospects for widespread use of computers for booking, routing and billing media orders. (HB)

A brief general descussion of the proper role of computers in education. (HB)

Two exploratory experiments compared the way people with no experience in the use of computer systems write and carry out natural language procedures, natural language descriptions, and instructions expressed in an artificial restricted syntax language. The results suggest the there is no single "natural" way that people write simple plans and…

Testimony on the copyrightability of computer software was heard at the 10th Commission meeting held at the New York Public Library in November 1976.

These curriculum materials are designed for teachers of students in grades six through nine to use to teach general computer literacy and rudimentary programming in BASIC. Sections on history, what microcomputers can do, and computer anatomy have been written so they can be copied and placed in the hands of the students in the intended audience,…

In this paper a hardware/software system is described which permits the use of the Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I as a tachistoscope in perceptual-cognitive research. Hardware requirements and configuration, problems in developing software routines to handle reaction and stimulus timing using the TRS-80, and the development of a routine for…

Computer programing and problem-solving steps in mathematics are viewed to have related concepts. Some heuristics are compared with some suggestions for structured programing. The one fundamental difference between problem solving in general and when using the computer is seen as the computer solution must be finite. The computer is viewed as a…

This overview acquaints prospective users with the School Finance Equalization Management System (SFEMS), a computer-based system designed to answer questions about state aid distribution. SFEMS can determine such things as the current pattern of aid distribution, the current pattern of tax effort, or the effect of alternative expenditure and…
