Designed to aid decision-makers at the state and local levels, the Vocational Education Evaluation Project (VEEP) will: (1) develop a planning system which will include a computer-assisted system for gathering data on vocational education in Virginia, (2) develop a system to upgrade planning and evaluation in the classroom, (3) identify process…

In individualized instruction, the amount of recordkeeping which must be done can be best handled by computer. In this paper, the logistics of recordkeeping in elementary education is explored through a systems approach. A model is proposed which can be used manually to keep track of progress in various skills. The model can easily be adapted to…

The Task Force responsible for this document was established to study 2 major questions: (1) How should the minicomputer be used in the undergraduate classroom and laboratory program? and (2) What type of minicomputer facilities are needed to carry out the recommended program? The first question is treated in Part 1. Two types of applications are…

This report describes the underlying premises, operations and the pilot implementation of TICCIT (Time-Shared Interactive Computer-Controlled Information by Television) system which aims to facilitate instruction and learner control via the combined use of mini-computers and color television. TICCIT courseware is organized in a hierarchical…

This article describes the design and testing of a computer-based program that administers and scores the California Psychological Inventory. Results indicate a considerable difference between the mean CPI subscale results of the computer administered and traditionally administered groups, particularly for males. (Author)

Discusses potential advantages and problems involved in the use of computers by school systems. (JG)

Describes a computerized student registration and accounting system used at Joliet (Illinois) Junior College that combines a low-cost minicomputer with a conventional batch processing system. (JG)

Describes a system which utilizes computer analysis for rating and weighting resident selection variables to reduce random error and bias in the ranking of applicants. The result was satisfactory selection with significant savings of time and effort for the residency program faculty. (JT)

The use of computers in secondary school mathematics programs in five countries (England, Scotland, United States, Canada, and Australia) are discussed. (SD)

By the year 2000 the major way of learning at all levels, and in almost all subject areas, will be through the interactive use of computers. Many of the factors involved in this revolution in education are reviewed. (BB)

This evaluation represents two case studies in which the aim is to assess, while attempting to account for, the successes and failures of innovatory programs involving the use of minicomputer facilities in schools. (Author/MP)

A special topics elective course is described. The rationale and organization are discussed and examples of course content and student achievement are presented. (MP)
