Purpose: Artificial intelligence (AI) is more capable and accessible than ever before. But what does this mean for clinical practice? How can speech-language clinicians evaluate the efficacy, validity, and reliability of AI and machine learning tools for automating assessment and treatment? How can speech-language clinicians ethically use these…

This study compared face-to-face and videoconference private music lessons of one saxophone and two tuba students. One value of this study is the magnitude of the data analysis. More than 28,800 frames of digital video and verbatim scripts of all lessons were analyzed for time spent engaged in sequential patterns of instruction, performance, focus…

This directory consists of a compilation of information from a survey of 101 school food service administrators to ascertain specific information on computer hardware, software, and applications currently used in their school food service operations. It is designed to assist school food service administrators in developing or enhancing systems…

Explains how school planners can use microcomputers to create electronic spreadsheets that reduce the time required to calculate educational specifications. (MLF)

Describes the microcomputing services offered by the Learning Resources Center at Tulsa Junior College to students, faculty, and library staff, discussing such issues as software development, student use of software in the library, and the need for microcomputer literacy among library staff. (DMM)

Demonstrates how "School Planner," a menu-driven educational facility cost simulation program, is used for showing the changes in space and cost requirements, given varying assumptions about such factors as number of pupils, class size, number of classes per week, and proportion of space used for instruction. (MLF)

Describes Orientation Express, a Macintosh Hypercard program developed at Pima Community College (Arizona), which guides students through Pima's West Campus Library and its services. Illustrates various computer screens that appear as part of the program. (DMM)

Steps that should be followed in choosing and implementing an administrative computer system are discussed. Three stages are involved: institutional assessment, system selection, and implementation. The first step is to define the current status of the data processing systems and the management information systems at the institutions. Future…

The workshop paper examines the use of microcomputer packages to analyze spontaneous language samples of children with communication disorders. Advantages of computerized analysis are seen to include time saving, more efficient data management, and increased objectivity. To help consumers determine which programs to buy, four aspects are…

This discussion of the potential of current and projected advances in microcomputer technology for the field of school psychology begins by describing some current applications, including test administration, scoring and analysis, report writing, and data management. Fourteen suggestions for future computer applications in this field are then…

Describes the database developed by Tulsa Junior College's Learning Resources Center to control its microcomputer software holdings. Describes the college's automated environment; bibliographic and physical difficulties associated with microcomputer software; the in-process database; and software descriptors associated with catalog records. (DMM)

Clinicians, students, and administrators can save time and effort in preparing, revising, and producing reports on students with communication disorders by using word processing programs on microcomputers. The article discusses the characteristics, applications, and requirements for word processing programs as well as criteria for selection.…

Software is available to record and analyze performance, evaluate physical parameters, monitor training programs, and perform scouting and scheduling tasks. Reduced paperwork frees teachers or coaches for quality time with students. Available software is discussed and selected vendors listed. (MT)

The paper describes the decision process in the determination of software purchase for the professional's use of the microcomputer.
