An autonomous multimedia computer-assisted instruction (CAI) general-education physics course was developed and evaluated at Florida State University (FSU). Based on a one-term conventional lecture course which had been given successfully at FSU for several years, the CAI course made use of an IBM 1500 instructional system to guide the student…

Doctoral theses completed and doctoral theses underway in the subject area of instructional technology are listed in this bibliography under the subtitles of audio literacy, audiovisual techniques, computers in education, library media, media training, programed instruction, projected materials, simulation and games, systems approach, television,…

A symposium of scientists and educators interested in coordinating the often parallel but separate research and development efforts in programed learning and digital-computer utilization met to define more exactly the potentialities of the computer as an instructional aid. Their papers form the basis of this book. The first section of the book…

Papers contributed by authors prominent in educational innovation and technology are in this collected work. The authors do not always agree, but a broad pattern of agreement is discernible. They agree on the identification of those major problems confronting the schools today as a result of the new social forces at work; and generally, they agree…

Organization of this graduate course of study in educational media research and theory consists primarily of developing a course outline, providing a single objective and some teaching suggestions and approaches for each unit, and gathering an extensive bibliography (with specific reference to the most recent and the most useful sources). Unit 1…

The Office of Education, through the Bureau of Research and the Bureau of Elementary and Secondary Education, has spent approximately $67 million on research and research related activities, planning projects, and operational programs on the application of computer technology and its use in education. Appendix A lists projects funded through the…

Project CREATES stands for Combined Resources for Editing Automated Teaching to Enlighten Students, the Harvard University Computer-Aided Instruction Laboratory's part of "A Multi-Agency Developmental Adult Basic Education Program." The major emphases of Project CREATES have been in the area of program and procedure development for…

This study represents an attempt to identify the status of change in Iowa elementary schools. In addition to providing current data reflecting the prevalence of 26 selected educational practices, this study report includes data concerning the adoption process, proposers, influencers, degree of staff involvement, preservice and inservice training…

A computer-assisted, competency-based instructional model has been developed for a teacher education program. It is based on the assumptions that individuals should control their own lives and that technology should be used to expand the range of human choice. The model uses a systems approach to organize the human, curricular and environmental…

The definition of instructional technology used in this bibliography is based on the definition used by the report of the Commission on Instructional Technology, "To Improve Learning." Instructional Technology in this sense is not confined to the use of specific media, but also includes systematic approaches to the use of human and…

This guide was developed jointly by members from the Departments of social studies, mathematics, English, and science. It sets forth the methods, materials and procedures of operation for the interdisciplinary teaching of this course. The overall objectives of the course are: 1) to teach the elements and process of decision-making; 2) to improve…

In this survey and analysis of the present state and future trends of communication media and educational technology, particular emphasis is placed on the potential uses of communication satellites and the substitution of electronic transmission for physical distribution of educational materials.
