Computer-managed instruction (CMI) refers to the management of information relating to the instruction of individuals and the delivery of information to instructors, administrators, and students. A meta-model for the possible use in the design of a CMI system and a framework for analysis and planning are described. (JN)

An authoring system obviates the need for programing in the development of computer-assisted instructional materials. Options for a variety of educational strategies are preprogramed, allowing the developer to concentrate on curricular concerns rather than software considerations. (RJG)

The term "instructional computing" is defined, and its various applications to classroom learning are identified. Psychological, curricular, and pedagogical frameworks for the use of computers in mathematics instruction are discussed, and the teacher's role is explored. Perspectives for teacher education are suggested. (PP)

Computer-managed instruction (CMI) has potential for helping solve research and instructional management problems. Computer-managed individualized instruction involves the scoring of diagnostic tests, generation of study prescriptions, and record keeping. (JN)

Computers can effectively present many forms of instructional material. Computers can also facilitate response-judging; provide feedback; store, index, and retrieve collections of information pertaining to instruction; and assist teachers with many administrative functions. (JN)
