The basic objective of this project was to take all the basic data relevant to individual community resources and put it into a meaningful form, and to provide it to the individual teacher upon request. Over 400 firms and individuals are listed and active in the file. There are 24 major classifications each with 100 possible minor classifications.…

A general interface was planned to aid students in a course on computer design. Basically, the system is an electronic/logical device which provides 24 input-output channels for the attachment of logical components to a time-sharing computer. The device is useful in the design and development of computer-oriented modules. The costs of such an…

General Information Storage, Retrieval, and Application System (GENIRAS) is a computer-aided information system designed for the storage, retrieval, and manipulation of data files. The system gives the user (1) flexibility in defining and using data bases, (2) a wide range of procedures to be applied to the data, and (3) a variety of acceptable…

The author suggests that the best guidance programs are those which allow the professional counselor the largest amount of time for counseling. The use of computers in the field of guidance assists the counselors in information storage and retrieval and provides for individualized instruction. However, the use of computers will require specific…

Management information systems have developed more rapidly than most innovations. In a relatively short period of time, the art has progressed from primitive routine clerical and accounting systems to elaborate management decisionmaking systems. Growing pains accompanied the rapid development and brought along many problems and critics. The…

The systematic approach used by the state of Washington to humanize education by meeting the computing needs of its community college system is described. A brief sketch of the background of the state's community college system is provided, along with some indications of significant trends at the community college level. The general systems…

Project PRIME (Planning Resources in Minnesota Education) was a 1-year research project that had as its prime objective the test implementation of the CAMPUS model for higher education administration and planning in Minnesota. This report outline the 13 specific objectives of the project and describes the research results. In addition, the report:…

The indroduction of on-line data collection and data processing techniques into an intermediate physics laboratory is described. Using a minimum configuration PDP-8L and a Digital Equipment AD01 analog to digital converter, an interface is developed with two existing experiments. These are a microwave apparatus used to simulate Bragg diffraction…

It is argued that many investigators utilize the Tucker and Messick (1963) Model with no intention of looking for individual differences or, after utilizing the model, draw improper inferences. An example is given illustrating the difficulties which result from improper use of the model. Several proper methods are outlined. (Author)

An interactive computer-based system for assisting investigators in the use of Bayesian analysis using the two parameter normal model is described. An important feature of this program is that it interacts with the investigator in the English language; he need not be familiar with computer languages or with the internal workings of the computer.…

The Draft Report of the Joint Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Regional Computing Centres of the Committee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario made a tentative recommendation that a regional computer center should be developed for the use of Ontario universities. However, on further investigation it was found that such a computer center would be…

This booklet provides the initial information necessary for school administrators who are considering the introduction or expansion of computer instruction in their school. The booklet contains a variety of non-technical information pertaining to the use of computers in instruction. It summarizes the hardware and software availability as well as…

Research was conducted to show that the computer can assist human beings in determining which words in a Navy training manual need further clarification. The computer scanned a chapter of a training manual (9800 words long) and separated all words of two or more syllables into an "assumed audience vocabulary" (i.e., words the audience would be…

The overall goal of this report is to help university administrators assess what computer-aided university planning can and cannot do for them and to arouse their interest in the application of system analysis, simulation, and computer models to university planning. The report is limited to analysis of selected examples of computer oriented…

Because it is vitally important to Great Britain that the most highly educated section of the population, comprising many future leaders, should be familiar with the nature and potential of computers, the committee responsible for this report was asked to review the teaching of computing generally, to assess the teaching requirement and its…
