This paper describes a complete lab work management framework designed and developed in the authors' department to help teachers to manage the small projects that students are expected to complete as lab assignments during their graduate-level computer engineering studies. The paper focuses on an application example of the framework to a specific…

Describes a software package used by six universities in the Netherlands for computer managed instruction, and discusses means provided for guiding students through a course and for evaluation. Special attention is given to the structuring and implementation of courses and blocks in a course. (Author/CMV)

Discusses the design considerations and plans for a computer managed instruction (CMI) medical terminology course and describes the 12 CMI functions of the system. Three references are cited. (CHC)

Describes the computer management system used in teaching a self-paced elementary algebra course at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga including the hardware, database, principal management program, and some report generation using an inquiry language. The source code of the management program is appended. (Author/CMV)

Discusses four modes in which computer assisted learning can be provided and analyzes the relationship between these modes and the types of client groups likely to employ computer assisted learning (CAL). Prepackaged CAI/CMI, auto-elaborative CAI, personally guided small group CAI, and gated cooperatively elaborated CAI are described. (JL)

Examines the effectiveness of the computer component of a cost effective college course in economics. The main computer ingredients consisted of seven instructional lessons, three one-hour exams, a sophisticated record-keeping system, and note-writing capability. Tables are included. (Author/CHC)

Discusses computer managed learning (CML), both as part of an innovative educational strategy and as a means to support the classroom teacher, and argues that introduction of the computer in support of education can best be started at the bottom, i.e., with simple administrative tasks. One such introduction is described. (Author/JL)

Describes the use of computer courseware in an undergraduate chemistry curriculum for (1) a tutorial program, (2) a computer assisted test construction (CATC) system, (3) a set of simulation and data reduction programs, (4) a "Numerical Methods in Chemistry" course, and (5) a library of computer managed instruction (CMI) programs. (JL)

Discussion of how to report writing skills highlights a computer program designed to provide feedback on the communicative effectiveness of students' written reports; presents an example of the typical feedback format which the program provides; and reviews students' reactions to computer assisted feedback. (MBR)

Considers the design and production of a computer assisted learning (CAL) or computer managed learning (CML) package from the point of view of a programer assisting the teacher who is willing to use it. The stages of production are illustrated by reference to two case studies. (Author/CMV)

Describes computer assisted and managed learning, with special reference to applications in science teaching, as well as the work of the United Kingdom's National Development Programme in Computer Assisted Learning. (CMV)

Describes the rationale underlying computerized adaptive testing (CAT), discusses the psychometric and technical developments which make it practical, and reviews some previous work which has shaped the current state of the art. The possible advantages, constraints, and operational requirements, and possible areas of application are examined.…

Reviews the literature on computer assisted instruction (CAI) and computer managed instruction (CMI), and discusses learner-controlled and program-controlled models in CBI. Experimental research on instructional processes and computers, particularly evaluative techniques, feedback procedures, and learner characteristics, are also reviewed.…

Ten papers focus on applications in specific curriculum areas, modelling and simulation, and computer managed learning. Projects described include voice support for the visually handicapped, distance education, and industrial training, as well as teaching applied mathematics, several facets of engineering, zoology, and, with videodisc, observation…

Presents an alternative model for using the computer as an aid in teaching mathematics. Highlights include a mathematics teaching model; computer software for drill and practice, tutorials, simulation, games, and computer managed instruction; integrating computers into the mathematics curriculum; and examples of computer activities for…
