"READ 180" is a reading program designed for students in elementary through high school whose reading achievement is below the proficient level. The goal of "READ 180" is to address gaps in students' skills through the use of a computer program, literature, and direct instruction in reading skills. The software component of the…

This report describes the development of an economically viable teaching system using a computer-based educational system. The PLATO system, used at the University of Illinois for the past nine years, is discussed. The authors report that by using newly-developed technological devices it is economically and technically feasible to develop…

This paper presents Project C-BE suggestions for those investigating the possibilities of using computers as an instructional resource. Topics are suggested to stimulate thought with regard to both the problems and the potential of computer-based education. (Author/CH)

Part one of this survey of special projects in computer applications to education is a resource guide to computers and education in Germany. A directory-type outline is provided for 13 projects in the areas of computer assisted instruction (CAI) and clinical training, adaptive tests, instructional analysis and synthesis of CAI programs and courses…

This document reports the findings of a survey-based descriptive assessment study undertaken in 1977 to obtain systematic feedback on the magnitude, nature, and effectiveness of instructional computing as it is being employed on the University of Iowa campus. Included in the report are a description of the survey procedures employed, an overview…

Reported are some of the outcomes of the second year of a large computer assisted instruction program for drill and practice in elementary school arithmetic. Conclusions drawn from an examination of the amount of computer assisted instruction completed by the students and the effect of the drill and practice program on the students were that: (1)…

Research and development activities during 1971 of the Computer Assisted Instruction Center at Florida State University are summarized in this report. Discussions of activities are grouped under sponsorship categories: the research areas and project efforts which are described under the sponsorship category of the Office of Naval Research are…

This report on an investigation of available hardware which would support music peripherals in an instructional mode focuses on the application of microcomputers to the teaching of music. It discusses microprocessor-based PLATO instruction, hardware selection, and courseware transfer, and notes that experimental lesson results indicate that…

A Microcomputer-Implemented Design Aid and Simulator (MIDAS) has been developed and used as an interactive learning system by electrical engineering students at the freshman and sophomore level. Evaluation of the system indicates that a great potential exists in the area of dedicated, inexpensive, interactive learning systems. User acceptance has…

The cost of providing adequate computer service is imposing an extraordinary strain on the budgets of many institutions of higher education, particularly small to medium sized institutions that do not have large, federally-funded research programs. They face 2 critical problems: (1) how to obtain sufficient computer services for student use so…

Discusses experiences in computer assisted instruction (CAI) at the Waterford School in Provo, Utah. Areas considered include long-term CAI projects, problems of conducting research in CAI, availability of computer expertise, availability of physical resources, and parental views of the programs at the school. (JN)

Reviews the current state of computer assisted instruction and suggests future trends in computer use in education. Discusses methods of using computers in the educational process, research on effectiveness, educational research, applications of computers, major projects, programing languages, and problems with computer assisted instruction. (JR)

Research reports issued during the last decade and a half on the effectiveness of computer-based education (CBE) are examined. Surveys of research on CBE over this time period are considered rather than individual studies. Thus, this report represents a synthesis of a number of review articles which provide snapshots across two decades of the kind…
