While most administrators are primarily interested in the economies offered by the extended school year, it is the opportunities for increasing educational quality which should receive primary attention. The knowledge explosion in the past 70 years dictates this focus. There are four basic ways of rescheduling the school year: (1) The staggered…

In illustrating how systems analysis can aid university planning, a report is presented of the early results of the application of systems analysis to problems of planning in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto. Analysis is reported of various alternative policies concerning enrollment, curriculum, involvement of teaching, hospitals,…

This pamphlet contains information and examples intended to show how the University of Toronto C.A.M.P.U.S. model operates. C.A.M.P.U.S. (Comprehensive Analytical Method for Planning in the University Sphere) is a computer model which processes projected enrollment statistics and other necessary information in such a way as to yield time-based…

The project's basic goals were to develop and implement a comprehensive program with a potential for statewide implementation, incorporating career education philosophy, and provide a means for other school districts to assess the worth of career education and develop techniques for implementing their own programs. Product objectives outlined the…

Audiotutorial instruction is one application of instruction tailored to individual needs. This method imposes certain requirements for instruction to be effective and for students to be properly motivated to learn. Some of the key requirements are: (1) individual control of the program material, (2) convenience of materials acquisition by the…

The Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC) is revising and enhancing its data-processing capabilities with the development of a large-scale, multi-site, on-line, integrated data base information system known as the Advanced Logistics System (ALS). A data integrity program is to be built around a Data Base Manager (DBM), an individual or a group of…

The text of an extended series of computer-mediated conversations makes up the body of this document. Discussion centers around the uses of computer networks as a new communication medium.

Each of the studies discusses: 1) the environment in which the system operates, 2) the objectives of…

Mention is made of some of the more significant of relatively few attempts to use computers in British education. A computer-assisted instruction project at the University of Leeds is briefly described and projects at three other universities and in secondary schools are noted. The dearth of computer applications in counseling is cited, and the…

A package of social science programs--Sociology Library (SOLIB)--for small computers provides users with a partial solution to the problems stemming from the heterogeneity of social science applications programs. SOLIB offers a uniform approach to data handling and program documentation; all its programs are written in standard FORTRAN for the IBM…

A series of six functions and a station command have been designed to enable Coursewriter II authors to use the plotting capability of the IBM instructional system in presenting course material. This capability has been augmented to include the ability to graph mathematical functions or other data on the 1510 terminal. Documentation of the Plot…

Mathematics and science classes integrated computer science activities into the regular secondary curriculum. This document reports the nature of the computer activities used in conjunction with an algebra II class, a physics class and a chemistry class. A computer programing class was also established as a year-long elective course. Success and…

The document, one in a series to assist in planning procedures for local and State vocational agencies, describes two computer programs, COMENR and VOCEDENR, to be used in secondary enrollment forecasts.
