At Humber College (HC) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the Digital Electronics (DE) program utilizes a computerized learning infrastructure called Computer Managed Learning (CML). The program, which has been under development for several years, is flexible enough to build a unique program of studies for each individual student and allows for the…

The current accountability process at Red Rocks Community College (RRCC) is based on a computer-managed instruction (CMI) system, containing student outcomes components, test items, student testing and evaluation information, student information, and reports for students, faculty, and administrators. The system was developed following extensive…

This paper focuses on how microcomputer technology can be used to manage individualization that is based on student differences in cognitive style. Generalized approaches to individualization and the management of individualization are discussed, along with specific approaches based on individual differences in cognitive style variables. Benefits…

This report is the second of two volumes which document the research and analysis project that resulted in the development of Instructor Support Feature (ISF) Guidelines. These guidelines are intended to aid operational users from the Air Force major commands, Simulator Systems Program Office procurement personnel, and contractors in the…

This report describes some of the research projects encountered on a 1979 study visit which investigated the nature and availability of computer-based training (CBT) systems in the United States and Canada, particularly within industrial, occupational and military contexts. An overview of the trip itinerary includes the names of the organizations…

Recent research and current trends in the field of computers and education are reflected in this collection of reviewed papers, tutorials, panels, project presentations and other sessions. More than 80 papers are grouped in the following topic areas: administrative applications, composition and literature, computing for the learning disabled or…

The document presents the executive summary of the final report of Project STEEL (Special Teacher Education and Evaluation Laboratory), a 3-year study at Indiana University. Project STEEL achieved four major goals: (1) development, implementation, and evaluation of a microcomputer-based observation system for codification, storage, and…

The question of what happens when a prison adds PLATO computer-based education to its school program is addressed in this paper describing the PLATO Corrections Project (PCP), which grew out of a need to accommodate students too advanced for adult basic education classes and not well trained enough to survive in high school equivalency, or GED,…

In order to provide a framework for addressing computer literacy and program development considerations, this document discusses issues in computer implementation on higher education campuses and outlines a preliminary plan for Cedarville College to meet computer-related needs of faculty and students. The growth of the computer industry and the…

The document reports 1979-80 progress of the Allegheny Intermediate Unit Exceptional Children's Program for Improved Individual Instruction in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Part of the project is designed to develop new materials and resources for developing math and reading skills in learning disabled students. Progress is described for the following…

A new curricular router created to be more flexible, more user-oriented, and use less computer memory was developed in 1979. Although initially called the "Indiana Routing System" (TIRS), it has been renamed the "Indiana Manager of PLATO-Assisted Curricula." This new router permits any mixture of the instructional strategies of…

The computer management system described, which administers tests and provides feedback to examinees, as well as progress summaries to instructional personnel, has been implemented at Florida State University. Located in the Assessment Resource Center (ARC), it has been used to manage the instruction of several thousand students enrolled in…

Examines the use of computer assisted instruction and computer managed instruction in marine education. Also cites studies on the effectiveness of microcomputers on learning and lists the titles of 18 software packages (noting source, hardware, and grade level) on marine and aquatic subjects. (DH)

Describes a computerized pupil profile which has a diagnostic component for identification and evaluation of learning difficulties; a learning style component that identifies, evaluates, prioritizes, and records the best types of instructional activities; and may also translate educational research findings into classroom practice.

Two examples of CBT which demonstrate unique design characteristics without gimmicks are described. The first is an example from Northern States Power Company (NSP), an electric and gas utility. The second details implementation of a language arts unit by the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium in a public school seting. (JEG)
