A report of the growth and present status of the mini-computer based, time sharing laboratory at the University of Indiana, which describes the system hardware, software, and applications in psychological experimentation. (EH)

The evolution of a medium scale, general purpose, multi-language, time sharing computer system at the Learning Research and Development Center (LRDC) at the University of Pittsburgh is detailed. A strategy for the interfacing and control of laboratory devices is described with respect to several application environments; experimentation in the…

This report describes the development of a Drexel University electrical and computer engineering course on digital filter design that used interactive computing and graphics, and was one of three courses in a senior-level sequence on digital signal processing (DSP). Interactive and digital analysis/design routines and the interconnection of these…

A brief, general discussion of the role of CAI in instruction. (HB)

The purpose of the paper is to describe an educational viewpoint based on the assumption that the complexity inherent in human nature should "drive" the relationship between technology and education; that deep technology is of little value without a deep view of education. (Author)

A proposed student model consisting of a set of programs to represent the student's knowledge state. Teaching proceeds after a comparative evaluation of student and teacher programs, and learning is represented by direct modification of the student model. The advantages of an explicit procedural model are illustrated by considering a program which…

At Triton College, student involvement with computers as a continued, multifaceted process is considered a primary objective of the physics and engineering department. To that end, the department implemented a low cost diverse program. The computer uses presented include labs, algorithms, testing, individual projects, drills, graphics, simulation,…

This research project was designed to provide information which will be of assistance to science educators responsible for and interested in the development, implementation and evaluation of educational programs and courses designed to foster computer literacy. A questionnaire concerning computer use in the classroom was answered by 3,576 science…

Two model programs have been developed for preservice and inservice training of teachers in the instructional applications of computers. The preservice model features a background in computer science, foundations of instructional computing using a total school view and content specific view, a task-centered practicum in instructional computing,…

This paper lists 25 objectives which computer-using teachers have designated as important for job success, and presents 11 relevant tasks to serve as a basis for practice and assessment of the objectives. These tasks deal with instructional planning, question episodes, lesson evaluation, tutorial computer assisted instruction, drill and practice,…

This brief description of the Department of Defense Dependents Schools' (DoDDS) computer education program is intended to provide direction for and to stimulate development of computer applications in elementary and secondary schools administered by DoDDS. This 3-dimensional program consists of (1) computer instruction, including both computer…

Computer time-sharing offers many interesting possibilities for use in teaching computer technology. To test the hypothesis that with proper hardware and software, students using time-sharing as a teaching machine could acquire proficiency in the fundamentals of programing more easily than by using standard batch-processing techniques, the…

This document provides computer programs, written in BASIC PLUS, for presenting fundamental or remedial college chemistry students with chemical problems in a computer assisted instructional program. Programs include instructions, a sample run, and 14 separate practice sessions covering: mathematical operations, using decimals, solving…

The concept of an information management system is presented in order that the major educational functions can be conceptionally and operationally integrated within one computer center during the seventies. These major informational functions include: (1) information retrieval of administrative data; (2) scientific computing; and (3)…

The Multilingual Interpreter (MI), a language processor capable of executing more than one language, is being used at Western Washington State College to enhance interactive computing for computer-assisted instructional (CAI) users. The MI's two major functions are, first, that of scanning and translating a source language into internal…
