Briefly describes hardware and software requirements for a computer based learning system. The methods used in various systems are reviewed briefly. (TS)

A one-page newsletter from the Council on Physics in Education (CPE) gives purposes of the group and describes a possible Physics-with-Everyday-Things contest, surveys of institutions carrying out major curriculum innovations and development of new instructional techniques. (TS)

The PLATO IV and TICCIT systems for computer assisted instruction will be tested and evaluated on a large scale in projects funded by the National Science Foundation. Included will be over 2500 students in elementary, community college and university classes beginning in September 1973. (TS)

Discusses the use of a set of computer programs (FORTRAN IV) in an introductory mechanics course for science majors. One laboratory activity is described for determining the coefficient of restitution of a glider on an air track. A student evaluation for the lab is included in the appendix. (Author/TS)

The teacher's role changes from a presenter of content to a diagnostician of learning experiences in individualized instruction. Common objections to the use of individualized instruction are discussed with reasons to overcome each objection. (Author/TS)

With the present knowledge about how the need for achievement is learned and how it operates, it is possible to design technical courses to stimulate this motive in engineering students and to develop desirable engineering action strategies for a wide variety of content. A sample application is presented. (Author/TS)

Experiments are designed with application to phenomena of the real world for use in a third-quarter introductory college physics course in wave motion, sound, and light. The computer is used to process and analyze experimental data and to extend experimental observations through simulation. (Author/TS)
