The poster child for the Web 2.0 movement, the wiki, demonstrates the spirit of open content more clearly than any other application. Wikipedia, the most famous wiki and the world's largest encyclopedia, defines a wiki as a Web site that "allows visitors to add, remove, edit, and change content." Even though it is a controversial information…

A computer based business game to be used as a teaching tool in high school business-related courses was designed, developed, and tested. The game is constructed in modules that can be linked together in a variety of ways to achieve a different decision configuration for different class needs and a changing configuration over time to parallel the…

The goal of the project described was to develop a "stand-alone" test scoring system based upon a micro-computer available to the hobbyist market. (Author)

The author reminds readers that computers are only tools, and that people make the technological adaptations work for adults and children with disabilities. (CL)

Describes the benefits of combining poetic expression with computers in promoting positive mental health. Discuses prescriptive poetry, composition, computerized poetic exercises, computers and poetry for groups and families, computerized poetic records, and poetic communication. (JAC)

The Statistical Analysis System (SAS) has been used to program power calculations for the independent samples Hotellings T squared. Three programs have been prepared to accommodate variations in the information that may be available to do the power analysis. (Author/SLD)

We introduce an effective computer aided learning visual tool (CALVT) to teach graph-based applications. We present the robot motion planning problem as an example of such applications. The proposed tool can be used to simulate and/or further to implement practical systems in different areas of computer science such as graphics, computational…

A study was made of existing methods of dealing with the initial articles (a, an, the) of several languages in computerized catalog records. A new strategy is suggested to reduce the error rate. (LS)

The analytical capabilities of ONPASS, an on-line computer-aided school facility planning system, are described by its developers. This report describes how, using the Canoga Park-Winnetka-Woodland Hills Planning Area as a test case, the Department of City Planning of the city of Los Angeles employed ONPASS to demonstrate how an on-line system can…

Claimed advantages, possible drawbacks, and economic implications of computer based learning systems are presented in this state of the art report for Great Britain. Specific areas considered include: the potential uses of computers for education, computer based learning systems, the physical bases of the system hardware and software, the…

A study was devised to develop a computer-based model for maximizing both the feedback of an administrative simulation exercise and the analysis of the results. The development of the model used in the analysis and feedback of in-basket simulation materials consisted of three phases: instrumentation (identification of items, courses of action, and…
