Discusses the computer generated graphs that can present trends not apparent in the usual printouts of employee data. (IRT)

A computer assisted instruction unit on population dynamics was designed to transmit information in a flexible, interactive, and graphic format using the University of Illinois' PLATO IV system. (LS)

This paper proposes the use of the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) language for teaching technical drawing projections. Three dimensional models and exercises are left to students over the Internet substituting the old wood models in the classroom. An introduction to the VRML language is presented. A detailed description on how models are…

Using a computer to compute, describe, and communicate to students their progress in a college course. (RA)

Discusses what can be done with a LOGO turtle robot, how it is different from doing LOGO with the computer-screen turtle, and the educational value of the device. Sample programs are provided, including one in which the robot turtle can be commanded to react to meeting an obstacle. (JN)

Describes development of an interactive computer graphics program for use in teaching digital signal processing. The program allows students to interactively configure digital systems on a monitor display and observe their system's performance by means of digital plots on the system's outputs. A sample program run is included. (JN)

Provides the rationale for considering communication in a graphic domain and suggests a specific goal for designing work stations which provide graphic capabilities in educational settings. The central element of this recommendation is the "pictorial conversation", a highly interactive exchange that includes pictures as the central elements.…

Offers and discusses three suggestions to capitalize on two developments related to system dynamics modeling and simulation. These developments are a junior/senior high textbook called "Introduction to Computer Simulation" and Micro-DYNAMO, a computer simulation language for microcomputers. (Author/JN)

Describes computer programs (available from authors) including molecular input to computer, programs for quantum chemistry, library orientation to technical literature, plotting potentiometric titration data, simulating oscilloscope curves, organic qualitative analysis with dynamic graphics, extended Huckel calculations, and calculator programs…

Provides a brief discussion of the graphics capabilities of microcomputers and describes specific graphics hardware and software that are available for the more popular microcomputers. The names and addresses of the producer/distributor and prices are given for each item. (CHC)

Describes the database, calculations, and various display modes of a computer subroutine that calculates the chemical score (or index of degree of balance) of essential amino acids in a protein and presents displays useful in illustrating concepts of protein complementarity. (DC)

Describes and evaluates the basic hardware, peripheral devices, system software, graphics capabilities, operations, and other features of the low-cost Commodore VIC-20 color microcomputer system. Included are three simultaneous musical tones plus one noise generator. (JL)

Discusses the application of the PLATO IV computer-based educational system to a one-semester basic drawing course for freshman architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design students and relates student reactions to the experience. (RAO)

Presents specific guidelines for designing instructional programs that will be delivered on microcomputers so that these programs will use the capacity of the microcomputer system in a way that will develop in learners a range of cognitive skills and help learners to evolve useful learning strategies. (Author)

The application of Bezier polynomials in computer graphics to generate curves and surfaces is presented. The use of these curves to aid in the design of automobiles is featured, and a BASIC program designed to draw a simple caricature is included. (MP)
