The application of theoretical models of instructional strategies to the design and the implementation of a computer-controlled instructional system and to the development of a practical course of instruction in computer programing is briefly described. (Author)

A computer program is described here which will do an in-depth grading analysis of a student's attempt to produce a required German sentence. The grading program is given a description of the expected response and the sentence actually constructed by the student, the two are compared, and a complete diagnostic report of the correctness of the…

A study was made of the effects of presenting instructional objectives to students in a graduate computer-managed course. It was expected that the availability of behaviorally stated objectives would reduce test item response latency, increase study time, and reduce state anxiety. Since all subjects were required to reach criterion on each unit of…

THE ROLE OF THE COMPUTER IN UNDERGRADUATE PHYSICS INSTRUCTION IS PRESENTED. MAJOR TOPICS INCLUDED IN THE REPORT ARE CURRICULAR ADMINISTRATIVE PROBLEMS, PEDAGOGICAL TECHNIQUES, AND SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT. INFORMATION RELATED TO LINGUISTICS MODE COMPUTER SYSTEMS, REMOTE CONSOLE EQUIPMENT, LINGUISTICS MODE PHYSICS PROGRAMS, COMPUTATIONAL MODE PHYSICS…

A computer-assisted instruction system called SMITH (Self-directed Mixed Initiative Tutorial Helper) has been developed. SMITH relieves the course author of the burden of computer programming, thus greatly reducing course preparation time. (Author)

This paper is designed to cause the reader to perform deep cognitive processing in the domain of computer based education (CBE) by presenting a conceptual structure of the CBE domain, by providing references to research, and by discussing decisions to be made during the development of CBE materials. (Author/STS)

Historic perspective of computer manufacturers and their contribution to CAI. Corporate CAI products and services are mentioned, as is a forecast for educational involvement by computer corporations. A chart of major computer corporations shows gross sales, net earnings, products and services offered, and other corporate information. (RAO)

An essay on the weaknesses of present educational procedures, a proposal for developing computer assisted instruction, and some suggestions to get educational reforms underway. (DAG)

QUEST is a frame-oriented teaching program driver which permits efficient authoring and editing of computer-based tutorials, teaching and testing students by means of these tutorials, and processing and display of responses entered by students. (Author)

An assessment of the apparent realities surrounding faculty hesitation to become involved in computer-based education. (Author)

Overview of the educational strengths and weaknesses of computer assisted learning within the National Development Programme in Computer Assisted Learning. (Author)

The operation and methodology of the external financial evaluation of the National Development Programme in Computer Assisted Learning is outlined, and its three-tier approach to costing is described. (Author)

This paper discusses some of the problems of evaluating educational games and simulations, and illustrates them with examples taken from the author's experiences with an economic policy game. (VT)

Students explore the effects of a variety of teaching styles and strategies on interpersonal incidents in teaching. (DAG)

Describes the development of two interactive computer simulations which were fully integrated with other course materials. The simulations illustrate the effects of various real and monetary "demand shocks" on aggregate income, interest rates, and components of spending and economic output. Includes an evaluation of the simulations'…
