A low cost method for delivery of computer services to homes and schools through interactive television called time-shared, interactive, computer controlled, information television (TICCIT) has technical qualities such that it is individualized, computerized, multimedia, and provides unlimited points of entry and delivery of information. TICCIT's…

Describes a project at Honeywell Information Systems that uses Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) to train employees to make more effective use of computers. Notes that industry is leading the way in Data Processing (DP) training and may be evolving solutions to public education's shortage of DP training resources. (MP)

A study was conducted to determine the applicability of computer technology to the education and research activities of Air University. Twenty-five units of the University were studied in depth. The information thus collected provided the data required for analysis. Data analysis indicated the set of functional education and research activities…

Describes a flexible, multichannel, highly accurate, digital data acquisition system for use with a microcomputer. Includes a description of instrumentation for computer data acquisition, data acquisition systems, software, uses in the curriculum, library interaction and action, and use in a mechanical engineering laboratory. (DS)

Business education teachers must be prepared to apply the new computer technology effectively in their classrooms. A relevant secondary education curriculum must be achieved, aiming at two computer education goals: computer literacy and career preparation in information/data/word/computer processing. (CT)

A study was conducted in Oklahoma on the problem of whether and to what extent it is feasible to establish a program to train computer programers and systems analysts using a time-sharing system and remote data communications transmission terminals. Specific training requirements were reviewed. A survey was made of potential employers of trainees…

This annotated bibliography of U.S. Government publications contains over 90 entries on topics including telecommunications standards, U.S. competitiveness in high technology industries, computer-related crimes, capacity management of information technology systems, the application of computer technology in the Soviet Union, computers and…

The training of computer programers could be more efficient and more effective if two major changes were implemented. First, the analytical method of teaching programing and programing languages should be replaced by the global method. The former provides introductions to information processing and programing and then teaches the programing…

A companion volume to "Scope and Sequence for Computer Education (Grades K-12)" (1984), this document outlines the goals and objectives of a school district program designed to assist students to learn to use computers and to develop positive attitudes, values, and motivation as appropriate for each individual's age, needs, and desires.…

To minimize training time, an adaptive training model for optimizing path sequencing in computer aided instruction was developed. The model reduced a course to logical components or quanta, then plotted the material for possible sequences and evaluated each component quanta as to importance to subject assimilation. For implementation and testing,…

Small stand-alone microcomputers can serve as the basis for running a sophisticated general-purpose interactive software system capable of supporting such interactive tasks as computer assisted instruction, word processing, and data processing, as well as other software development. A successful system using the PASCAL programing language is…

Descriptions of essential computer elements, logic and programing techniques, and computer applications are provided in an introductory handbook for use by educators and students. Following a brief historical perspective, the organization of a computer system is schematically illustrated, functions of components are explained in non-technical…

Approximately 2,500 undergraduate students at The University of Texas enroll each year in a course entitled "Introduction to Business Data Processing." Over one-third of these students are taught in large classes (between 180 and 300 students) via multimedia presentation. Every lecture is prepared as a four-screen slide show with the frequent use…
