Volume 1 of two volumes on the use of computers in education, this annotated bibliography contains 338 unclassified references covering the period from July 1959 through June 1969. A computer search covers July 1953 through September 1969. Success in the use of computerized education and training systems is evaluated. Reports on programed…

Described are three training programs for teachers of the handicapped in Florida, Vermont, and Maryland that have been designated exemplary by the Bureau of Education for the Handicapped, which supports 500 teacher preparation programs. Typically covered for each program are aspects such as instruction, curriculum content, recruitment and…

A computer-based system--the Educational Assembly System for Student Executed Educational Design (EASSEED)--is used to generate individualized curricula for students with varying needs and goals. It combines advances in management and computer technology to define the processes of curriculum development and thus moves toward an explicit…

A three-year project involving 4,000 students from 15 schools for deaf students supported the development and evaluation of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) for the hearing-impaired. Activities ranged from evaluations of specific curriculums to theoretical studies of language use by the deaf. The project demonstrated that CAI can benefit deaf…

Research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of computer-managed instruction (CMI) as an aid to the mastery of factual content, as compared to the method of frequent, pre-announced quizzes. One section of an undergraduate education course received conventional instruction along with quizzes; another section used a CMI program whose major…

The ninth annual EDUCOM conference developed its theme along four major lines: computing for research; computing for instruction; management information systems; and the allocation of computing resources. Papers in this volume address primarily the organizational and political considerations (Parts II, III, IV, and V), and technological/economic…

The decision to employ direct rather than diffraction recording in the Lincoln Training System (LTS) is reported. This resulted from the findings that direct recording was practical at higher densities than previously thought possible and that rapid access to a number of fiche would compensate for the limited number of frames per fiche realized…

During this quarter further investigations of alternative designs for the Lincoln Training System LTS-4 project's features and subsystems continued. Software efforts proceeded concurrently in three areas: 1) system architecture, monitor, and input/output programs; 2) a new version of the Lincoln Terminal Language, LTL-2; and 3) programs to apply…

A description is provided of a computer-based simulation of an instructional system which adapts the learning environment to the individual's unique attributes for processing information and for being motivated. The main purposes of the simulation are: 1) to introduce, as attributes for individualizing instruction, information processing variables…

An analysis was made of the strategies by which tutors adapt their teaching to individual students; the objective was to synthesize these strategies in a computer system called SCHOLAR. Tape recordings of dialogues between tutors and students about South American geography were made to discover the strategies used by tutors. Since SCHOLAR is a…

The best way to introduce computers into the instructional program of the small community college is to start with an inexpensive interactive system devoted primarily to campus instructional needs and financed by the college itself. This runs counter to the predominant idea that the optimum procedure is to begin with remote terminals connected to…

A new technique called computer augmented lectures (CAL) now in use at the University of Texas at Austin is discussed in this report. The technique is described as involving the integration of on-line interactive time-sharing computer terminals and theater-size video projectors for large screen display, the goal being to promote student learning…

A computer-assisted instructional (CAI) course, WRITE, was used at the Poughkeepsie, New York, Middle School to help 5th through 8th graders with spelling and word usage problems. The course used the Coursewriter III language and an IBM System/360 computer; students received self-paced instructional programs at typewriter terminals. All teaching…

Two sequences of courses at the University of South Carolina offer liberal arts students an introduction to computers and to the relationship between technology and the humanities. These provide training in rigorous thinking and new means of probing the record of human experience. The lower level sequence consists of a general computer…

The British Open University is described in the first section of this paper as a multi-media system for teaching at a distance. Details are provided on the texts and other materials mailed to the students, the radio and television broadcasts provided by the British Broadcasting Company, and on the auxiliary sources of assistance offered to the…
