Outlines the plan established for implementation of microtechnology at the Center for Educational Advancement (Pikeville College, Kentucky) and discusses actual procedures taken to fulfill the implementation. Indicates that the implementation design may be of use to others (education, business, industry) interested in this model for the…

Discusses computer managed learning (CML), both as part of an innovative educational strategy and as a means to support the classroom teacher, and argues that introduction of the computer in support of education can best be started at the bottom, i.e., with simple administrative tasks. One such introduction is described. (Author/JL)

Describes the implementation of a computer managed instruction system, PROJECT BASIC, in an elementary school. Developed by Evans Newton Incorporated, PROJECT BASIC uses a microcomputer to record student progress, assist in test scoring, and group children according to their instructional needs in mathematics, reading, and written communication.…

Discusses the four components of the computer based instructional support program of a Texas school district: (1) computer managed instruction; (2) computer assisted instruction; (3) computer augmented learning; (4) student data computer input. (EKN)

Describes the use of computer courseware in an undergraduate chemistry curriculum for (1) a tutorial program, (2) a computer assisted test construction (CATC) system, (3) a set of simulation and data reduction programs, (4) a "Numerical Methods in Chemistry" course, and (5) a library of computer managed instruction (CMI) programs. (JL)

Describes and compares some CMI systems, e.g., Scout at Brigham Young University, a system at Florida State, CDC's PLATO, and the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory System, in terms of their attributes, rationale for design, and their future directions. (JEG)

This paper describes a pilot study in which continuous support through on-line consultation services provided to a principal, a regular teacher, a resource room teacher, and a teacher aide responsible for a profoundly deaf student in a rural Saskatchewan community. Evaluation concluded the program was successful. (DB)

Discusses the development of computer-managed instruction (CMI) and possible changes for the future. Topics addressed include the management function; the current tutorial method that focuses on verbal learning; a closer relationship to performance and practice; resolving conflicting goals in computer-based training; and the psychology of…

Discusses the use of integrated learning systems to augment classroom instruction for elementary and secondary education, as well as for adult learners, and describes the software and management components that are offered by eight vendors. Topics addressed include software, graphics, multimedia, remedial learning, and learning environments. (LRW)

One of the methods moving to the fore in aligning curriculum to standards is computer-based Instructional Management Systems (IMS). Reports on the process used by the Palm Beach County School District to select and implement an IMS to improve teaching, providing some basic information which other districts or schools can use in their own search…

This interim report describes the development of a networked computerized classroom language management and recording system to assist teachers of children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. The system will provide storage and access capability for such information as changes in instruction, language learning progress, modifications in communication…

This paper describes a research and development effort by Jostens Learning Corporation that resulted in the Renaissance Information Management System (RIMS), an information-management user interface for an integrated learning system that is designed to overcome two major obstacles to the use of computer systems by classroom teachers--limited…

Project Computer-Assisted Instructional Management (C-AIM) is being pilot tested on third grade mathematics students in the Jonesboro Public schools (Jonesboro, Arkansas). Each elementary building operates a MUPET Lab equipped with at least six Commodore Model 4016/4032 microcomputers, one Commodore Model 4040 dual disc drive, and one Commodore…

THE FOLLOWING IS THE FULL TEXT OF THIS DOCUMENT: Because of budgetary constraints, we were forced to have a daily schedule which gave all teachers a common conference period. The conference periods occurred either at the beginning of the school day ("A" period) or at the end of the school day ("Z" period). The regular schedule…

The approach to computer-based instruction for third and fourth grade elementary students which is sketched teaches component placement, capitalization, and punctuation skills of addressing envelopes within the context of a simulated envelope. Part of a larger design for a complete program of composition instruction, this program comprises a set…
