Recent developments in Internet technologies have enabled new, more flexible forms of telematic simulation and have raised issues that were not considered in the early days of networked learning. Ultimately, these questions revolve around: (1) the learning cost-effectiveness of telematic simulation (quality and quantity of learning as opposed to…

This brief paper describes several computing tools that have been effectively used by individuals with mobility impairments. Emphasis is on tasks to be completed and how the individuals abilities (not disabilities), with possible assistance from technology, can be used to accomplish them. Preliminary information addresses the importance of…

The possible utilities and limitations of computer-assisted career guidance systems (CACG) have been widely discussed although the effectiveness of CACG has not been systematically considered. This paper investigates the effectiveness of a theory-based CACG program, integrating Sequential Elimination and Expected Utility strategies. Three types of…

In Kalamazoo, Michigan, teachers are evaluated on how well they and their students perform. Kalamazoo schools have probably one of the most comprehensive computerized systems of personnel evaluation and accountability yet devised. (Author/WM)

This study tested Hershenson's hypthesis that different vocational counseling methods would be differentially effective for clients at different levels of readiness. Findings suggest that individual counseling be emphasized with low readiness clients when both options are available. (Author)

A major problem in most predictions of school enrollment is the forecaster's failure to express adequately his certainty or uncertainty in his estimates. Describes a method whereby a forecaster can prepare probability distributions of enrollment predictions. The Monte Carlo computer simulation calculates enrollments by the multivariable method,…

A brief look at a computer project which provides comprehensive administrative and instructional information to schools in the Minneapolis, St. Paul region of Minnesota. (AK)

The user indicated several changes in library use habits as a result of the computer-based searches, among them more direct access to the primary literature and increased use of library resources as they had been made aware of new sources and media--e.g., microforms. (2 references) (Author/NH)

A transformational model offers a way to eliminate the middleman (programmer) in acccessing a computerized data base. It provides a basis for the algorithms which analyze the input query. The linguistic analysis of the sentence string is translated into system terms and the required operations are carried out. (28 references) (Author/NH)
