The article discusses the use of computers in the education of gifted children, focusing on computer assisted instruction in the classroom. (DLS)

Various strategies for dividing time on a computer-assisted instruction system among a number of eligible students were studied using simulation models. Results indicated that different time allocation strategies make very little difference in achievement; a more important variable is the total amount of CAI time used by students. (Author/RAO)

Completed surveys from about 300 faculty members at six community colleges indicated current opinions about educational practices and provided a baseline of initial attitudes towards CAI. The data was factor analysed. (BD)

Demonstrates how principles of simulation help students develop working models or prototypes. Explains how computer software enables this process for learners with only basic computer knowledge. (SK)

Describes three Internet projects that use interactive multimedia: Internet-based training, intranet information management, and partnered marketing services. Development processes, strategies for utilizing emerging software tools, and techniques for converting existing training and knowledge into Internet-compatible formats are discussed.…

Survey responses from 67 Florida directors of adult basic and literacy education (100%) and 145 of 169 Ohio directors indicated that a much larger number of teachers have access to computers than actually use them to teach writing. There is little staff development related to computer use, and funding is a major inhibiting factor. (SK)

Investigates language productivity in foreign language learner output obtained via two different modes of computer-mediated communication: Asynchronous and synchronous. Examined which form of CMC would be more effective in increasing language productivity in foreign language learning, and which form of CMC participants would prefer. (Author/VWL)

Discussion of computer integration in classrooms focuses on a study that investigated preservice teachers' perceptions of the teacher's role in classrooms with computers and in classrooms without computers, particularly regarding teacher-centered versus student-centered roles. Results indicated that technology was influencing preservice teachers'…

There is an interplay between emotions and learning, but this interaction is far more complex than previous learning theories have articulated. This article proffers a novel model by which to regard the interplay of emotions upon learning and discusses the larger practical aim of crafting computer-based models that will recognize a learner's…

Discusses gender-related differences in performance and interaction styles in computer-supported learning (CSL) environments. Presents a summary of gender-related issues identified by international research and academic practice together with opinions expressed in an online discussion forum, and offers suggestions to increase the flexibility of…

Discussion of technological innovations that are revolutionizing traditional methods of education focuses on Multiple Perspective Interactive (MPI) video. Topics include telepresence; content-based interactivity; Gestalt Vision that combines multiple images to provide a larger picture; architecture of MPI, including information systems; the impact…

Describes advances in and advantages of computer simulation in education and industry. Gives examples from health care and waste handling industries and technology education classrooms. (SK)

Points out the opportunities provided in teaching with information technologies. Explains instructional design by teaching the course entirely on the Internet. Describes characteristics of effective education and the role of the instructor in an on-line course. (Author/YDS)

Offers a brief overview of what is generally accepted about how human memory works as it applied to computer assisted language learning (CALL). Discusses a number of interactions from various CALL products in light of the research summarized. (Author/VWL)

The authors describe a computer-based "bug-in-the-eye" approach to counselor supervision that is well suited to college counseling centers. Hardware and software requirements, comparisons with other forms of supervision, support for and limitations of this approach, and recommendations are presented. (Contains 13 references.) (Author)
