Computer routines to sort the weekly log records submitted by teachers participating in the Southwest Regional Laboratory's communications skills monitoring program are described. Written in Univac FORTRAN V, Weekly Log Record Sort (WLSORT) sorts log records on magnetic tape to enable subsequent computer programs to interpret the input data by…

Proposed training procedures and materials, and participants' questions on the use of the Southwest Regional Laboratory's (SWRL) student monitoring system data base in the Instructional Management System (IMS) are described. The training sessions were undertaken because IMS Version 3 requires classroom teachers to use special materials and…

Queensborough Community College, part of City University of New York (CUNY), has installed a new disc storage subsystem to speed up and expand its computerized college administration system. (Author)

Hardware and software components employed in the 1971-72 tryout of a research-based, computer-operated Instructional Management System (IMS) are listed and described. Purposes of the tryout are given, and the communications system detailed. Source-input and output documents are listed, along with the IMS computer programs and IMS files.…

Instructional Management System (IMS) information cycles from participating schools to the Southwest Regional Laboratory (SWRL) for processing, returning again to the school in the form of summarized reports of pupil data. One segment of this cycle is managed by the IMS pupil data base processing program. The program generates reports from…

The California Education Information System (CEIS) was developed to provide integrated information processing for educators at every level of operation. The objectives of CEIS are to make available through a state-wide system for local district use, complete, current and reliable information about education at the local and state level. CEIS…

Computer routines to summarize data and generate reports from weekly log records submitted by teachers participating in the Southwest Regional Laboratory's communications skills monitoring program are described. Written in Univac FORTRAN V, Communications Skills 1, Weekly Log Summary, Revision 1 (CS-1-WLSR1) displays information by student group,…

The objective of the study was to evaluate (1) the needs and resources available to local school districts in data processing; (2) the needs and resources available for regional data processing centers; and (3) the types of services, including programing packages, that would be offered by the regional data processing centers. The study analyzed…

Step-by-step procedures for utilizing the computer support system of Miami-Dade Community College's Life Lab program are described for the following categories: (1) Registration--Student's Lists and Labels, including three separate computer programs for current listings, next semester listings, and grade listings; (2) Competence and Resource…

The automated identification of students as they progress through an instructional program is described as an essential capability of the Southwest Regional Laboratory's (SWRL) Instructional Management System (IMS). Performance characteristics of procedures for linking data to individual students (whose records are maintained by IMS) are…

The Instructional Management System (IMS) developed by the Southwest Regional Laboratory (SWRL) processes student and teacher-generated data through the use of an optical scanner that produces a magnetic tape (Scan Tape) for input to IMS. A series of computer routines, OPSN, preprocesses the Scan Tape and prepares the data for transmission to the…
