Paper deals with four areas: 1) diagnostic assessment of learners; 2) the generation, analysis and banking of test items; 3) the sequencing of learning materials for individual students; and 4) the interface of students and teachers with the computer. (Atuhor)

a look at computer simulation, which belies a methodological distinction and is a relatively new approach to the study and further understanding of complex entities and situations. (Author)

Paper discusses the philosophy of computer-furthered instruction (CFI) and the design of a particular CFI system used in the required undergraduate course in probability theory and statistics taught in the school of Business at the University of Kansas. (Author)

A computer-assisted periodical control system was designed to reduce clerical time required to maintain records in three areas: renewal audit, routing, and records-keeping. The renewal audit features are unusual and are described in detail. (3 references) (Author/DH)

The complex and time-consuming task of preparing an acronym directory with fully documented entries for the library, information, and computer science fields was appropriately aided by methodology of these fields. The input record is constantly available for searching despite dispersal of the component 3 X 5 card records. (1 reference) (Author/NH)

While the computer is presently largely performing functions such as payroll processing and scheduling, in a few years it will affect virtually every student from the kindergarten through the graduate school in some way or another relating to his learning. (Author/CB)

Establishes an argument that questions the validity of one test'' of goodness-of-fit (the extent to which a series of obtained measures agrees with a series of theoretical measures) for the simulated time path of a simple endogenous (internally developed) variable in a simultaneous, perhaps dynamic econometric model.
