Using survey research methodology in rating "believability" of computers, this study concludes that English Canadians tend to find computers more credible than do French Canadians. The two variables that affected the subjects' attitudes were an affectively positive awareness of the computer's pragmatic abilities and an affectively…

A collection of articles from "Scientific American" magazine has been put together at this time because the current period in computer science is one of consolidation rather than innovation. A few years ago, computer science was moving so swiftly that even the professional journals were more archival than informative; but today it is…

This document is an English-language abstract (approximately 1,500 words) of a Finnish Committee Report for the planning of future educational needs on the university level to meet the needs of government and industry. The Finns view education as needing to be organized to meet the needs of industrial changes, both quantitative and qualitative, so…

The seventh annual Interuniversity Communications (EDUCOM) Council Meeting and Conference was designed as a forum at which some of the successful applications of computing to higher education could be examined and discussed. Particular attention was given to those applications which seemed to have wide applicability, and to those which might be…

The Automated Computer Science Educational System (ACSES) has been developed at the University of Illinois for the purpose of providing improved education for the large number of students taking introductory computer science courses. The major components of this system are: a library of instructional lessons, an interactive programing system with…

Examines the role of computers in investigating teaching and learning processes and concludes that computer based experiments can be effective if they meet the same requirements that must be met by direct instruction techniques. (Author/DB)

A flexible, transferable computer assisted instruction (CAI) system has been developed at the Twente University of Technology, Holland, for use in association with a first course in digital engineering. Written in APL, it is designed to be modular in nature, and thus easily extendible. (Author/CMV)

Assessed effectiveness of classroom team activities in eliciting more favorable attitudinal outcomes with a sample of 215 undergraduate business administration majors enrolled in an introductory COBOL programing course. The findings provide support for incorporating team activities into the programing learning process to develop positive…
