MCAID is a relatively machine-independent technique for writing computer-aided instructional material consisting of descriptive text, multiple choice questions, and the ability to call compiled subroutines to perform extensive calculations. It was specially developed to incorporate test-authoring around complex mathematical models to explore a…

This paper provides a current status report of the operational capability and use of the Time-shared, Interactive, Computer Controlled, Information Television (TICCIT)+10 system at the Model Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD), Gallaudet College, Washington, D.C. TICCIT+10 is a version of the TICCIT system, which was modified to meet the needs of…

An extensive computer based education system (CBES) built around the IBM Coursewriter III program product at Ohio State University is described. In this system, numerous extensions have been added to the Coursewriter III language to provide capabilities needed to implement sophisticated instructional strategies. CBES design goals include lower CPU…

The structure of a computer assisted instruction (CAI) system designed to teach various straight-talk production skills, which are primarily defined in terms of syntactic features, is described. Project Straight Talk (PST) uses the terms "straight" talk and "everyday" talk to refer, respectively, to standard and non-standard dialects. PST teaches…

For the past 15 years there has been a serious interest in the processing of natural language (English) by researchers in Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). This processing has included machine translation, question-answering systems, man-machine dialogue, and speech understanding. This interest has engendered an awareness of and a concern with the…

The purpose of this paper is to lay a basis for and discuss the components of a system, called COMET, designed to objectively measure and evaluate the competency of trainees in military training enterprises. COMET is an acronym for "Computerized Objective Measurement and Evaluation of Trainees." These goals will be accomplished by: (a)…

Dealing exclusively with instructional computing, this paper describes how computers are delivering instruction in a wide variety of subjects to students of all ages and explains why computer-based education is currently having a profound impact on education.
