Discusses the need for quick access to stored musical sounds for effective music learning, and describes random access audio hardware designed for use with the PLATO system. Examples are presented and five pedogogical principles derived are discussed. (Author/RAO)

Two computer packages are described which augment laboratory experiments in which the effect of random variables on population processes can be explored. (MP)

Achievement gain was significantly greater under learner control than under program control. (Author)

One lesson from a group of six computer-assisted lessons is described. The BASIC program is given along with a sample run. (MP)

Braille printouts create textbooks and help train blind programmers at the University of Manitoba. (Author)

Discusses CAI as part of the general software distributed with a recently announced portable computer. A brief history of software for small computers is presented, architecture and functional capabilities of the computer are covered, and software support for CAI is described. (RAO)

This study was designed to test effects of a specified degree of learner control over the sequencing of instructional materials in a self contained tutorial CAI course in COBOL programming. Findings describe contributions and interactions of learner controlled variables with respect to instructional effectiveness and efficiency. (RAO)

A review of computer equipment for immediate response interactive systems. CRT display instrumentation is explained, as is additional computer hardware that has direct application to student users. (RAO)

A computer-based college course covering the exact and complete theory of logical inference is described. Student's performance and their evaluation of the course are discussed. (SD)

Discusses the use of computer-generated holograms to calculate the Fourier transforms of simple stick objects. (MLH)

Discusses a study which investigated whether a computer simulation model could suggest subroutines that were instructable and whether instruction on these subroutines could facilitate subjects' solutions to the problem task. (JM)

Managed Instruction with Computer Assistance (MICA) used a teacher-designed math curriculum as a pilot project for a computer managed instruction (CMI) system designed to provide a means of implementing individualization. (DAG)

Several algorithms for solving initial value differential equation problems using the definitions of derivative and integral and a computer are discussed. (MN)

Description of an experimental program which uses computer assisted instruction, videotape, and videophone in a system for providing instruction to hearing impaired secondary-level students at Gallaudet College. (STS)

Examines one approach to tracking discourse level "functional" features for computer-based writers' aids by comparing the grammatical base and approach to parsing embodied in an ATN parser with that of a systemic parser, which makes an analysis of discourse-level features explicit. (HTH)
