A workshop was held which was designed to review the state of computer-assisted instruction in terms of its application to the U.S. Navy, with special emphasis on the Navy's activities at Newport Naval Base. The workshop also offered practice in developing short computer programs and attempted to familiarize a staff group with advanced information…

A program was developed to use the PLATO IV system of the University of Illinois to help students solve typical programing problems. The program tries to approximate a near-ideal situation in which each student receives correction of logical errors and comments on good programing practice as he goes along in a one-on-one tutorial environment. The…

A study which was made concerning the training of professionals in the computing industry found that existing programs in computer science at academic institutions do not provide the preparation required for the practice of computer science in industry. The problem is due primarily, but not exclusively, to the failure of academic institutions to…

A computer-assisted drill program designed to give German vocabulary drill is presented. It was written by a high school student and is an example of a file oriented program in which the main master program remains fixed while the vocabulary words to be drilled can be changed at any time either by the teacher or by the student. Some polar…

This paper details the broad categories of professionals in Computer Sciences and Technology; discusses the required competence in each skill category, suggests ways and means of imparting these types of skill and discusses the part that the U.N. may play in ensuring the transfer of these skills from Developed-to Developing-countries. It then…

This paper has been written as a contribution to the resolution 2458 adopted at the 23rd session of the United Nations General Assembly entitled "International Cooperation with a view to the use of computers and computations techniques for development." It is written with a view to the Latin American situation, with the hope that the…

This document, a report of a seminar arranged by the Royal Belgian Society of Engineers and Industrialists, contains 35 papers illustrating the application of modern mathematics in engineering. There are eleven sections: Statistics, Operational Research, Boolean Algebra, Numerical Analysis, Eigenvalues, variations, Integral Equations and…

A computer-assisted instruction (CAI) program was designed which fulfills the objectives of teaching a simple programing language, interpreting student responses, and executing and editing student programs. The CAI-BASIC program is written in FORTRAN IV and executes on IBM-2741 terminals while running under a time-sharing system on an IBM-360-70…

This report is the result of a study, funded by the National Science Foundation, of a group constituted as the COSINE Task Force on Undergraduate Education in Computer Engineering in 1969. The group was formed in response to the growing demand for education in computer engineering and the limited opportunities for study in this area. Computer…

The article reports on an innovative approach to developing computer literacy among 15 visually impaired students that was presented in two four-week workshops in computer programing for visually impaired students at Baruch College, N.Y. (Author/PHR)

This is Part 1 of a small series on teaching the BASIC programing language to beginners, and deals with the computer, instructional materials, and objectives needed for such a course. (MN)

A description is given of a program for providing computer services to secondary schools throughout the Province of Manitoba. (MP)

Discusses the importance of the computer in today's complex society. Argues strongly in favor of integrating the computer into education by introducing computer-related curricula at all levels of education, and thus developing a computer literate society. (GA)

Describes one approach to supplying engineering and computer science educators with an economical portable digital systems laboratory centered around microprocessors. Expansion of the microcomputer based laboratory concept to include Learning Resource Aided Instruction (LRAI) systems is explored. (Author)

Investigates effectiveness of advance organizers for teaching functioning and use of compilers to undergraduate students in computer science courses. Two experimental groups used the advance organizer while two control groups did not. Findings indicate that an explicitly concept-directed organizer is effective in providing a framework for…
