This study examined computerized scheduling in 16 Vancouver secondary schools by analyzing (1) the results of a questionnaire to the principals of the schools, (2) class size balancing by computer, and (3) the effect of additional simulate runs on the number of student conflicts and the "date of smooth operation." A simulate run is…

THE MAJOR OBJECTIVE OF THE ARTICULATED MEDIA PROJECT (AMP) WAS TO DESIGN PROTOTYPE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR USE IN PREPARING EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATORS IN SUCH A WAY THAT CONCEPTS AND REALITY-ORIENTED ADMINISTRATIVE SITUATIONS WERE JOINED DURING THE DESIGN PROCESS. THE STUDY ALSO ATTEMPTED TO PROJECT POTENTIAL USES AND EXTENSIONS OF SPECIFIC…

Three characteristics of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) make it suitable for individualizing instruction: adaptive response by the student, continual evaluation of the student's responses, and adaptability of instruction to the individual's responses and his achievement levels. CAI systems are being used for laboratory computing, record…

A major problem identified in the current, manually kept high school attendance system is the inability to handle the large volune of daily information. This ineffectual data management is reflected by the high absentee and tardy rates. Additionally, this failure to produce current and timely reports hinders class cut reporting. This is evidenced…
