Describes a chemical engineering laboratory course based on the modelling and computer simulation of dynamic experimental conditions. (MLH)

Describes the use in chemical engineering education of FLOWTRAN, a large steady-state simulator of chemical processes with extensive facilities for physical and thermodynamic data-handling and a large library of equipment modules, including cost estimation capability. (MLH)

A questionnaire, sent to each of the 139 members of the National Consortium for Computer-Based Music Instruction identifying the systems, terminals, and peripheral equipment available to them and discussing their future hardware needs, is reviewed. (RAO)

The setup described here for recording chemical transient phenomena is intended to be simple and an instructive example of interfacing experiments that can be performed on any microcomputer possessing adequate memory and input-output facilities. (BB)

Describes an interactive, computer-automated simulation which helps students analyze their values related to marriage. Students sit at a terminal, answer questions about their values and expectations concerning marriage, describe personal characteristics of themselves and desired mates, and receive an analysis noting areas of strength and weakness…

The design of CAI for individualization of instruction and its relationship to broader educational systems is detailed. Effectiveness of CAI in various student populations and subject matter is presented, as well as design methods, and research studies in cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence are reviewed. (RAO)

This informal report describes uses of single-user, personalized computer systems at the University of Michigan and discusses the implications of new technologies for improving access to higher education. (Author/MP)

An overview of television and its use in reading instruction in schools, at home, and with computers. Research on educational television and reading is also reviewed, and a 57-item bibliography is appended. (RAO)

Establishes the need for literacy in dance; and describes two dance notation systems: the Massine notation method, and the Labanotation method. The use of interactive computer graphics as a tool for both learning and interpreting dance notation is introduced. (Author/VT)

Describes a PLATO-based curriculum for teaching profoundly deaf children to understand speech sounds, which are presented as touch patterns on the abdomen. PLATO's auditory disk output is used to speak words and phrases which are converted to touch patterns via a new sensory aid, the teletactor. (Author/JEG)

The problem of acute pulmonary embolism is employed to illustrate that medical decision analysis is possible despite some of the difficulties encountered in previous application. The usefulness of computerized decision models is discussed. (LBH)

Describes the implementation of a computer assisted instruction program at Harford Community College. Eight different biology simulation programs are used covering topics in ecology, genetics, biochemistry, and sociobiology. (MA)

Describes a computer assisted instruction project, used with a basic chemistry course, to increase student understanding of chemical concepts. The project has two sub-systems: Student Response, and Independent Laboratory, together with two modes for evaluation, an "Opinion" mode and a "Quiz" mode. (GA)

Describes how computer assisted instruction is used in two competency based teacher education courses in language education at Pennsylvania State University. (DD)

A conceptually elementary and geometrically based algorithm is presented to indicate how trigonometric functions can be calculated without using calculus. (MN)
