Explains a technique to create animated films for aid in the instruction of relativistic mechanics through the use of a computer. (CP)

Utilizes the computer for analysis of the indices of refraction of several liquids in the PSSC refraction lab. (CP)

Describes and evaluates an experimental computer-assisted instruction program for teaching the Dewey decimal classification portion of an introductory cataloging course. (LS)

Describes an interactive simulated hypothetical instructional computer that significantly improves the student's understanding of how a computer works and how high-level language constraints are handled by essentially simple machines. (Author/IRT)

The article describes educational and training possibilities of the videodisc, a device similar to a phonograph record which plays back color television picture and sound through a conventional set and can be combined with a miniature computer to offer programed instruction with active learner involvement. (MS)

In seeking to understand recent phenomena which have occurred in higher education, author looked backward beyond the sixties in seeking principles of change as well as explaining the failures to change. (Author/RK)

Project LOCAL, a not-for-profit regional consortium, offers a broad spectrum of in-service training courses tailored to meet the needs of educators in various disciplines and levels of experience. The purpose of these offerings is to bridge the communication gap between innovative centers in computer-oriented education and staff members in Boston…

This paper argues that computers are the first form of educational technology that can be honestly described as "revolutionary". It also argues that this is because the real forte of computers is to support person-to-person educational influence, not replace it. (Author)

The author raises questions concerning the cost-effectiveness of the use of computers in education, the use of computers in individualizing instruction, and the value of such techniques as computer simulation of experiments. (SD)

Described is a laboratory program at Hope College, Holland, Michigan. Examples of laboratory exercises are provided. (RH)

The unit mastery learning system is a method of individualized, self-paced learning which, through repeatable testing, enables students to attain a mastery of the content of one unit before proceeding to the next in the program. This article describes the unit mastery learning system and its application in an introductory geography course at Hilo…

A survey of recent work on computer assisted instruction classifies the material reviewed by mode -- batch or interactive -- and by level -- introductory or advanced undergraduate study. (KM)
