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…

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 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…

During the 1971-72 pilot test of the Southwest Regional Laboratory's (SWRL) Instructional Management System (IMS), three alternative procedures were used to gather data within the classroom, transmit those data to SWRL for processing, and send IMS output to the appropriate recipients in the schools. ComSys 3--one of the three…

Some of the schools participating in the Southwest Regional Laboratory's Instructional Management System (IMS) pilot test submitted input data forms to and received processed information from regional processing and data collection centers. To determine the feasibility of alternative methods of data collection and output return, evaluative data…

Computer routines for the translation of teacher-prepared mark sense forms to magnetic tape are described. The program, Receiving IMS (RIMS), is part of the Southwest Regional Laboratory's (SWRL) Instructional Management System (IMS). It accepts mark sense sheets from remotely located Xerox 660 scanner copiers and/or IMS update information from…

A STEP BY STEP OUTLINE OF THE SYSTEM DEVELOPED TO MAKE AND KEEP RECORDS FOR A 2-YEAR FOLLOWUP STUDY OF IOWA HEADSTART PARTICIPANTS (SUMMER 1965), SUPPLIES DETAILED INFORMATION FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A SIMILAR SYSTEM. THE IOWA EDUCATION INFORMATION CENTER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA AND THE OFFICE OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY COOPERATED TO DEVELOP AN…

The Southwest Regional Laboratory's Instructional Management System (IMS) central data processing system produces reports for dissemination to participating schools which provided the original source data to the system. Described in this document are the computer software routines (SIMS) that control the dissemination of information contained on…

The Total Guidance Information Support System (TGISS), is an information storage and retrieval system for counselors. The total TGISS, including hardware and software, extends the counselor's capabilities by providing ready access to student information under secure conditions. The hardware required includes: (1) IBM 360/50 central processing…

A prototype package of interactive computer programs for automating the information processing needs of the academic advisor in large educational systems is described in this report. This on-line filing (OLF) package is basically a program which retrieves an existing student record and allows easy interaction with a set of subroutines that perform…

One of five supplements which accompany chapter 3 of "Mountain-Plains Handbook: The Design and Operation of a Residential, Family Oriented Career Education Model" (CE 014 630), this document contains specific information concerning the data monitoring procedures and forms utilized by the research services division. Included are the…
