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)

At Gallaudet College, additional computer hardware has been required to meet the computer needs of administration, faculty, and students. Used in such disciplines as English, mathematics, chemistry, and foreign language; computer assisted instruction has proven particularly helpful in teaching the deaf. (EMH)

For the next ten years, at least, it would almost certainly be prohibitively expensive for a student to receive a major part of each day's instruction in a direct individual dialogue with a computer. Furthermore such a system would not teach a student to interact effectively with other humans, to communicate the results of his labors to others, or…

A special issue of the journal "On Line" is devoted to reporting the 1974 Instructional Computing in Michigan conference. The conference was divided into numerous sessions, and there are individual reports summarizing the activities and papers of each session. The sessions reported are on the instructional computing aspects of…

This is the first of a three-volume report on a National Science Foundation project called PARADIGMS. An overview of the PARADIGMS project, an analysis of the concept paradigm, and objectives of the project are presented in the first section. The next two sections cover some specific paradigms for research and action, including sample CAI…

The goal of Project IMPACT is to provide the U.S. Army with an effective, efficient, and economical computer-assisted instruction (CAI) system in a total system framework. This paper reviews the a) reasons for establishment of Project IMPACT, b) nature of the project and its relevance to needs of the Army, c) reasons why the Army needs to develop…

The purpose of this article is to explore some aspects of the development of a large multi-institutional network concerned with applications of educational computing in chemistry. (Author)

Dicusses Modesto City (California) Schools' successful planning process for integrating a computer education program into the curriculum. Planning focused on six basic questions the district asks about any curriculum area reviewed. Generic skills needed for decision-making and other academic and occupational pursuits were targeted.

Outlines strategies adopted in producing a software package called SCRIBE and procedures through which tests can be produced, student responses marked, and reports generated. A brief summary of the reactions of teachers to the package is also included. (JN)

Describes one previously "computer illiterate" teacher's experiences in taking a beginning course in computer programming and notes the teacher's resulting sense of achievement, growth in self-confidence, and ability to use the computer to tailor educational computer programs to individual student needs. (PGD)

Describes applications of Time-shared Interactive Computer-Controlled Television (TICCIT) in various computer-assisted instruction programs, including those of the United States armed services. For example, the army is using TICCIT to investigate the effectiveness of CAI as the primary training medium for instructing its reserve units. (JN)

In 1981, the British government allocated 1.1 million pounds to introduce a trial computer-based learning (CBL) program to the nation's education system. Following a 2-year pilot project, a CBL Unit was formed to build on the success of the initial experiment. The unit coordinator describes this on-going project. (JN)

Discusses optimum school uses for microcomputers, how computers affect learning, and how computer effectiveness can be maximized. (JOW)

An overview of the conference held at the International School on Computers in Education in Pugnochiuso, Italy. (HB)

Shows how the student is introduced to the use and language of the computer; programmed texts are used in conjunction with the computer, which tests student's understanding of what has been taught. (Editor)
