This report describes the underlying premises, operations and the pilot implementation of TICCIT (Time-Shared Interactive Computer-Controlled Information by Television) system which aims to facilitate instruction and learner control via the combined use of mini-computers and color television. TICCIT courseware is organized in a hierarchical…

Discusses potential advantages and problems involved in the use of computers by school systems. (JG)

By the year 2000 the major way of learning at all levels, and in almost all subject areas, will be through the interactive use of computers. Many of the factors involved in this revolution in education are reviewed. (BB)

The PLATO Computer-Based Education System allows pictorial displays, detailed teacher-prescribed assignments, automatic adjustment of lesson difficulty to individual student performance, and powerful methods of response-interpretation in the teaching of aurally handicapped students. (Author)

Describes a method for teaching the technique of nearest-neighbor frequence analysis (NNFA) for testing the fidelity of template DNA replication. (Author/BB)

Computers as teaching aids are becoming an important educational tool; children should become familiar with them and their uses since they will be a factor in many areas of their lives. (JD)

Offers a critique on some of the papers on computers in science teaching that were presented at the 1985 National Association for Research in Science Teaching meeting. Implications for the conduct of research on computers in science learning are also suggested. (JN)

The substance of a commentary (SE 539 500) is a criticism of the over-generalizations by authors of computer-assisted instruction papers at the 1985 annual meeting of the National Association for Research in Science Teaching. This reaction attempts to examine the validity of the criticisms made in the commentary. (JN)

Assesses the effect of microcomputer technology on traditional community college instructional roles, values, and activities. Examines issues related to computer literacy, telecommunications use, videodisc technology, information control, faculty workload, microcomputer access, and curricular change. Underscores the importance of human contact.…

Discusses the use of interactive computer graphics in developing student exercises on various concepts of electrical engineering. These exercises include drill and practice, homework, remedial work, and interactive laboratory reporting. In addition, a computer assisted program is used by instructors. (JN)

After much study, administrators at the Garland Independent School District (Texas) adopted a minicomputer-based system which provides curriculum development for kindergarten through grade 12. The process of implementing computer-assisted instruction in this district is described. Results after the first year and teacher training are examined. (JN)

Describes how computers have been integrated into the engineering technology curriculum at Murray State University, focusing on their use in instructional programs, required programming, simulation, and computational projects. Also focuses on computer assisted instructional formats. Indicates no restructuring of course content, expansion of…

The evolution of the computer program at the New York School for the Deaf is traced from initial investigation of student needs, development of a proposal, further planning, staff training and inservice, implementation, and its eventual student and administrative use. (CL)

Presents the second of a two-part state-of-the-art review concerning current trends in mental health computing, with special clinical applications in automated psychological testing, computer interviews, computerized diagnosis, clinical consultation, computer-aided instruction, computerized treatment intervention, and user acceptance.
