Accelerated Math (AM) math management software is a task level learning information system placed in 4th-11th grade classrooms around the country. AM provides teachers with an information system that assures that students can master all math objectives and state standards from grade 3 through calculus. It eliminates teacher paperwork, improves…

Describes a competency-based, computer-managed instruction model that was developed and used in revising and managing the curricula of dietetic internship and physical therapy certificate programs. Results indicate that this approach to curriculum development is desirable and practical and has the potential for effectively serving future…

Relates experiences in using computers and microcomputers in teaching history. Reviews the value of the computers in testing, record keeping, reporting, and advising. Cites benefits for instructors and students. (DMM)

Addresses the problems involved in meeting diverse student needs within the classroom. Encourages the use of computer-managed education (CME) to facilitate the record-keeping and decision-making involved in instruction. Explains the use of a CME system in Seattle Community College's mathematics laboratory. Concludes that CME increases…

Eight categories of software available for educational use (including tutorial, games, administrative utilities, and simulation) are described and the application of a microcomputer for hearing impaired secondary students at the Iowa School for the Deaf is detailed. Software selection criteria are considered. (CL)

The authors describe the use of a computer managed instructional system to demonstrate the effectiveness of a databased program modification methodology in regular and special education. Research on both concepts is reviewed and the educational implications are considered, including allowing teachers to spend more time in instruction. (CL)

Discusses the design considerations and plans for a computer managed instruction (CMI) medical terminology course and describes the 12 CMI functions of the system. Three references are cited. (CHC)

Describes the computer management system used in teaching a self-paced elementary algebra course at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga including the hardware, database, principal management program, and some report generation using an inquiry language. The source code of the management program is appended. (Author/CMV)

A major change has occurred in the way Web technology is being used in society. The change is grounded in user empowerment using Web 2.0 tools and processes. Students are already sophisticated users of these tools and processes, but outside of the mainstream instructional practices in higher education. In this reflection, the educational potential…

Education continues to move on-line through the World Wide Web. Classrooms of students and teachers are no longer restricted by time or distance. ClassNet is a tool that manages these virtual classrooms; it automates many of the administrative tasks associated with global Internet classes. Through a simple interface of Web forms, students can…

As the use of distance education grows, the question arises as to whether there are inherent limitations to the use of such an approach, due to the fact that learning is culturally and experientially mediated. The effective implementation of digital learning environments involves recognizing that successful teaching and learning involves students…

The paper describes a mainframe based, locally devised computer-based system that meets the needs of a medium sized district in managing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for handicapped students. The program produces and stores behaviorally based IEPs tailored to reflect the competency based regular education curriculum in use. The system…

This report is the first of two volumes which document the Instructor Support Feature (ISF) Guidelines for aircrew training. Designed to provide a communication vehicle among personnel involved in the acquisition process for new aircrew training devices (ATDs), these guidelines focus on the development of specifications for the instructional…

The implicit power of modern communications technologies to improve citizenship education is explored in this paper. The relationship between the use of educational technology and the effectiveness of social studies instruction are only beginning to be studied, and these inquiries have been focused more upon the "harder" science…

Computer applications in South African schools are described in this five-paper collection of journal articles, which covers a range of projects from primary school and university elementary arithmetic to more sophisticated applications in physics, chemistry, and biochemistry.
