The U.S. Navy has developed a self-paced, computer managed instruction (CMI) system for the initial training of personnel. The success of the system has prompted further research to explore greater economies through the use of communication satellites to deliver CMI to trainees at sea. (Author/BD)

Many learning environments involve rituals for rehearsal and reflection. Musicians, for instance, spend countless hours practicing scales and adjusting their bodies to increase their skills. But they do more than simply practice: They also play for instructors and others who can provide valuable critiques of their performances. Architectural…

As museums throughout the world enter the interactive arena of digital communications, a need has emerged to access strategies of program development that seamlessly interface with existing missions and resources. This paper describes how Project VIEW, a US Department of Education Technology Innovation Challenge Grant, collaborates with major…

The feasibility and validity of using a computer-based networked collaborative knowledge mapping system to measure teamwork skills was examined. Student groups (10 groups of 3 ninth graders each) were assessed with the system twice in the academic year, once in the fall and once the following spring. The study focused on the nature of the…

This paper proposes a contextual evaluation method for computer-mediated teletraining systems. The proposed methods include: (1) quantification of results of the work on a generally recognized scale, in order to evaluate performance reached by the trainees following the achievement of the training task; (2) analysis of communication types used…

Author discusses the computer's role in educational research, management and instruction. He cites numerous possible applications of computer-assisted instruction in occupational education. (Author/HB)

The characteristics of a computer-controlled diagnostic game, and some analyses of student performances and some measures of task difficulty are described.'' (Authors/AK)

A series of three computer-generated films intended to serve as teaching aids in presenting ideas concerning the motion of electrons in periodic potential. (DF)

Data indicated that prompting was the better procedure to use for initial learning; confirmation treatment indicated that prior experience with the material was helpful. (Author)

A series of three investigations are developed utilizing earthquake data and a calculator system with a card reader, X-Y plotter and printout device. The investigations involve determining the spatial distribution of earthquake hypocenters with the goal of having students work with realistic data. (DF)
