The University of Rochester's Graduate School of Management has a computer registration system that permits students to complete the registration procedure, except for paying tuition, entirely on a terminal. (MLF)

Describes how Suffern (New York) High School creates its master class schedule using a computer-generated "conflict matrix" that shows the enrollment for each course and the number of students who would experience scheduling conflicts if any two courses were offered at the same time. (Author/RW)

The development of the microcomputer offers advantages for behavioral science and educational research. Among the potentials of microcomputer use are enhanced capacities for precise replication and extension, measurement, and experimental control and randomization, and the relative economy that microcomputer-administered experimental treatments…

Reviews five areas in which computer graphics technology has been applied: animation, computer-aided design, home information systems, scientific uses, and geographic information systems. (FM)

Various electronic mail systems are described (facsimile, communicating word processors, and computer-based message systems); applications of the computer-based message systems are examined; and the classroom applications of electronic mail are discussed. (CT)

Offers suggestions for using computers to institute an innovative, creative school schedule that allows for flexibility in the curriculum. (Author/WD)

A computer-assisted examination program, written in TUTOR for PLATO IV at the School of Basic Medical Sciences, University of Illinois College of Medicine, is discussed. The system is automated from the scheduling and delivery of basic medical examinations to the analysis of student performance data. (RAO)

Briefly outlines the positions some schools have taken on the use of microcomputers as teaching devices. (IRT)

Outlines the potential of microcomputers in the administration of schools, as well as some of the obstacles to their use. Concludes that extensive use of microcomputers for administrative purposes is probably several years away. (Author/IRT)

Describes the use of the partially prepared template for solving selected accounting problems and examines the educational issues relating to students' perception of using them. (JOW)

Developed model for examining impact of computer-aided monitoring on employee-level job satisfaction and turnover propensity. Results from 740 employees showed that, for some employees, negative effects of monitoring were inherent; for others, its negative impact could be mitigated by attention to feedback/performance appraisal processes.…

Describes second wave information technology in social work as characterized by modern databases, decision-support systems, expert systems, electronic networks, and therapeutic applications that have greater impact on direct practice. Assesses ethical dilemmas posed by use of second-wave information technology in social work practice to encourage…

Computational and plotting problems are often encountered with the Johnson-Neyman analysis of covariance procedure (P. Johnson and J. Neyman, 1936) when using three covariates. Use of an appropriate design and contrast matrix for the general linear model and the Mathematica software system to overcome these problems is described. (SLD)

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a combination of maps and databases that provides geographical information not otherwise possible. The result of combining street data and geographic data is a precision map showing exact street locations. GIS can be used by delivery people, emergency vehicles, and taxicabs. (JOW)

Electronic meeting-support (EMS) software is a collection of computer tools that makes meetings more productive and is helping to redefine corporate and organizational decision making. EMS is groupware that speeds the pace of meetings, actively engages participants, and elicits high-quality input from participants. (JOW)
