Compares design of instructional system with that of data processing system, noting similarities (needs analysis, definition of required outputs, identification of inputs, need for design processing, development of procedures, testing, implementation); structured design techniques; and advantages of structured instructional system design. Warnier…

A student testing system was developed consisting of computer generated and scored equivalent but unique repeatable tests based on performance objectives for undergraduate chemistry classes. The evaluation part of the computer system, made up of four separate programs written in FORTRAN IV, generates tests containing varying numbers of multiple…
