Describes how a computer can be used to help instructors evaluate classroom speaking. Discusses the value of a computerized system of speech criticism. (PD)

Illustrates how a simple computer program on transformational geometry can be used. The three examples consider use when the program is unknown, the program listing is known, and the existing program is to be modified. (MNS)

Discusses issues related to the access of and training of university researchers in using supercomputers, considering National Science Foundation's (NSF) role in this area, microcomputers on campuses, and the limited use of existing telecommunication networks. Includes examples of potential scientific projects (by subject area) utilizing…

Students using microcomputers for extensive periods of time are prone to the same problems as those experienced by video display terminal operators. Suggested guidelines include adjustable furniture and equipment, avoidance of eye strain, control of screen brightness and contrast, and specially prescribed glasses. (MLF)

For institutions of higher education in Canada, the use of computer-assisted-instruction is miniscule. Instead, students of the sciences are shown how to program computers while students of the arts are shown how to use computers within their disciplines. Experiences in computing at the University of Waterloo are described. (JN)

Describes the need for increased computer-aided-design (CAD) training, and a symbiotic relationship between education and industry which could increase the supply of trained operators of CAD equipment. Industry problems (and how education can help) and education's problems (and how industry can help) are considered. (JN)

It is shown that automatic search profiles can be derived which perform comparably with corresponding manual profiles. The most efficient automatic profiles, in terms of performance and search time, are those consisting predominantly of single terms enriched with fragments. (Author/PF)

Research indicates that people tend to use only five percent of the capabilities available in word processing software. The major objective of this study was to determine to what extent word processing was used by businesses, what competencies were required by those businesses, and how those competencies were being learned in Mid-South states. A…

One of the most interesting aspects of the application of systems science to university administration is the use of simulation models in institutional research. This paper treats the benefits, implementation and prognosis of computer-assisted university administration with particular emphasis on university planning and cost simulation models. The…

Discusses the use of Computer Assisted Instruction as the key factor in teaching reading successfully. (Author/SB)

The cost system designed as a sub-system of the Management Information System, to record and report cost data for occupational courses funded by the Illinois Division of Vocational and Technical Education, can stand alone if necessary, providing the flexibility essential to the success of the total system. (Flow chart included.) (Author/SA)

One hundred twenty-eight 11th grade male students were randomly assigned to a control group on one of three experimental groups: (1) computer-generated feedback on self-knowledge accuracy; (2) guidance taught on occupational classification scheme; and (3) a combination of (1) and (2). Measures of self-knowledge showed increased accuracy about…

Describes to those educators unfamiliar with the computer the ways it can be used as an instructional device in the schools. (Author/DN)

This study applies social judgment theory and interactive computer graphics to labor-management negotiations. Self-understanding and understanding of one's counterpart were found generally to be poor. Participants reported gaining new insights and indicated that the use of interactive graphics is feasible and desirable. (Authors)

Author examines the nature of computerezed simulation models and analyses its use in future research. (HB)
