The world of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) involves a set o complex multi-role human/computer interactions. One important aspect of this interaction concerns the analysis of response data for scientific or instructional purposes. This paper describes the human/computer operational interactions that the personnel at the Florida State…

The introduction and diffusion of automatic computing facilities during the 1960's is reviewed; it is described as a time when research strategies in a broad variety of disciplines changed to take advantage of the newfound power provided by the computer. Several types of typical problems encountered by researchers who adopted the new technologies,…

Determining the knowledge of students entering institutions of higher learning and testing the current progress of students have become difficult problems, and electronic computers are beginning to be used to help solve this problem in the U.S.S.R. This paper cites examples where computers have been used, ranging from processing information about…

Project IMPACT (Instructional Model Prototypes Attainable in Computerized Training) is a comprehensive advanced development project designed to produce an effective and economical computer administered instruction (CAI) system for the Army. In this paper, the rationale for conceptualizing the instructional process in a form implementable by…
