The PLATO Computer-Based Education System allows pictorial displays, detailed teacher-prescribed assignments, automatic adjustment of lesson difficulty to individual student performance, and powerful methods of response-interpretation in the teaching of aurally handicapped students. (Author)

Describes a method for teaching the technique of nearest-neighbor frequence analysis (NNFA) for testing the fidelity of template DNA replication. (Author/BB)

The successful Merit Computer Network is examined in terms of both technology and operational management. The network is fully operational and has a significant and rapidly increasing usage, with three major institutions currently sharing computer resources. (Author/CMV)

Outlines a strategy for science education aimed at the development of intuition concerning phenomena predicted by fundamental theories. The computer is used to build such intuition by providing a range of experiences not found in the everyday world or in the laboratory. (GA)

A computer-based narrative report integrating results from the Strong Vocational Interest Blank, the Opinion Attitude and Interest Survey, and the Cooperative English Test was compared with a standard profile format. No differences were found between the two methods for male and female. (Author)

Use of sequential data display on the Davenport diagram mated with computer techniques offers solutions to both data storage and teaching problems related to blood gas determinations. An example of using the technique for teaching interpretation of data to medical students is given. (JT)

Several projects are described which are exploring tools and techniques for interlibrary cooperation in an effort to improve services for users. (STS)

Computers as teaching aids are becoming an important educational tool; children should become familiar with them and their uses since they will be a factor in many areas of their lives. (JD)

The computerized data base on community organizations of Monroe County Public Library, Indiana is described. (KP)

Describes a two-term course in electronic instrumentation for chemistry and physics students. The first term focuses on analog circuits and the measurement of voltage, current, and impendance. The second-term course focuses on digital pulses/logic, microcomputer organization, and assembly language programing and interfacing to experiments. (JN)

This committee report presents survey results on the extent of the use of computers in British secondary schools, attitudes toward their use, and ways they are used. Future directions are discussed. (MNS)

The Department of Physical Education and Human Movement Studies uses a course specifically aimed at applying software to the study of physical education.
