Nichol, Jon – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 1985
The School of Education at the University of Exeter (England) is developing a curriculum project in which secondary school students learn history by using prepared computer programs, by using the computer as an electronic blackboard, and by doing their own programing. The Exeter project is described. (RM)

Wardle, Michael – Mathematics in School, 1984
Some specific uses of microcomputers in mathematics instruction are presented. Included are examples for generating data and patterns, checking, practice of various types, developing understanding, comparing results, simulation of experiments, introducing new ideas, solving problems, and extending into new areas. Brief computer programs are given.…

Goldenberg, Lauren B.; Heinze, Juliette; Ba, Harouna – Education Development Center, Inc., 2004
The JASON Multimedia Science Curriculum (JMSC) was developed in 1989 by the JASON Foundation for Education (www.jason.org), and is a multimedia, interdisciplinary, inquiry-based science curriculum that responds to the dual demands of teachers having to teach state standards while engaging students in scientific inquiry. The JMSC encourages…

Maushak, Nancy J.; Chen, Hui-Hui; Lai, Hung-Sheng – 2001
Researchers have claimed that while educational computer software does not necessarily improve students' academic performance, it does provide for students a more interesting and motivational environment for learning. It naturally fits in the context of students' learning since it can deliver nonstop actions, realistic sounds and vivid colors to…

Hegedus, Stephen J.; Kaput, Jim – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2003
We report the findings of an empirical analysis of the performance of a group of middle and high school students before and after an after-school algebra enrichment program using the SimCalc software incorporating classroom networks. The results highlight statistically significant gains in their learning and briefly outline contributing factors of…

Olsen, Dale E. – 1997
Interactive, multimedia software involving a simulated subject has been created to help trainees develop interview and interrogation techniques using personal computers, because practice interviews are not always realistic and are too expensive. New and experienced law enforcement agents, among others, need such extensive training in techniques…

1999
This high school physics resource is a simulator for optics, electronics, force, motion, and sound. Students can study oscillations, look at sound waves, and use probes to graph a wide variety of quantities. Over 100 activities are pre-written, and students can easily create their own additional activities using the multimedia editor. (WRM)
