Routines developed for an ongoing course in research methods and statistics provides examples of the custom instructional applications that can be created using extended BASIC and a light pen, including title and transition displays, progressive disclosure, animation, overlays, and simulations. Strengths of this technique are reviewed. (MBR)

Supporting evidence from both neurological research in brain hemisphere functions and comparisons of the use of symbols in Eastern and Western cultures are used to advance the position that the capability of graphics software for microcomputers to combine textual and visual elements makes them a powerful and revolutionary communications tool. (CLB)

Discusses interaction and the need for considering cultural dimensions when translating instructional materials between nations. A taxonomy of educational objectives for interaction is introduced and Stolovitch's procedures for learning verification and revision (LVR) are discussed, including case studies describing interactive radio instruction,…

Three high-school students with deafness and additional disabilities used microcomputer software featuring graphics and cartoons to improve their creative writing. Though use of correct syntactic structures did not improve, output of written language did increase. Descriptions of the software used and case studies of the three students are…
