Adaptive Educational Hypermedia Systems provide personalized educational content to learners. However most of them do not support the functionality of Learning Management Systems (LMS) and the reusability of their courses is hard work. On the other hand some LMS support SCORM specifications but do not provide adaptive features. This article…

Describes one system of computer managed instruction and how it facilitates the management and information processing needs for one widely implemented system of individualized instruction, Individually Guided Education (IGE). (JY)

Considers the structural components essential to programs of Indivisualized Instruction, leading to a model of a generalized computer managed instruction system. (JY)

Camelot is a microcomputer-based system for individualizing information in a variety of settings. The information is not prespecified in Camelot and, consequently, can take many forms including instruction, counseling, prescription, and task assignment. The basis for individualizing the information is also not predeclared; therefore, users can…

To determine if computer technology could improve shipboard instruction and training, an Automated Shipboard Instruction and Management System (ASIMS) was used for computer managed instruction (CMI) about the USS GRIDLEY during 1975-76. ASIMS comprised a NOVA 1200 minicomputer with support peripherals, a Computer Integrated Instruction (CII)…

Managed Instruction with Computer Assistance (MICA) used a teacher-designed math curriculum as a pilot project for a computer managed instruction (CMI) system designed to provide a means of implementing individualization. (DAG)

Adaptive Evaluation Structure (AES) is a set of linked computer programs designed to increase the effectiveness of interactive computer-assisted instruction at the college level. The package has four major features, the first of which is based on a prior cognitive inventory and on the accuracy and pace of student responses. AES adjusts materials…

Argues for the use of computer systems in language classrooms. One of the major advantages is that the student can move at his own pace. The computer thus provides the time needed for individualized instruction that the teacher cannot afford. A sample computer curriculum is detailed. (PJM)

Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI), such as PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operation), TICCIT (Time-Shared Interactive Computer Controlled Information Television), Computer Managed Instruction (CMI), and representative military applications of computers are described and discussed. (KC)

Discusses whether integrated learning systems (ILSs) provide good education and suggests the need to consider what learning technologies can deliver best and what humans can teach best. Opposition to ILSs is discussed, focusing on negative views of machines; and support for ILSs is reviewed, including individualized instruction and motivation.…

A study was conducted to establish the current status of Individualized Instruction (II) in the Navy and other services, identify the factors influencing its effectiveness, identify present or potential problem areas, and recommend strategies/policies to improve II in Navy technical training. Particular attention was given to an assessment of…

This comparison of the cost effectiveness of conventional, individualized, computer-assisted (CAI) and computer-managed instruction (CMI) for military training is based on data drawn from experiments of limited duration with relatively few students. All findings are confounded by effects that may be due to either CAI or CMI in comparison to…

This paper describes the structure and function of the SYS IV PLATO Curriculum Project's (PCP) computer-based management system and justifies the system design. A consideration of features most critical in the design of management systems provides the context for a discussion of specific SYS IV features, which include its ability to deliver any…

This is the final paper in a series of three on SYS IV, a computer-based management system developed by the PLATO Curriculum Project (PCP) which tests students, routes students to lessons, stores detailed records of online student activity, and keeps summary records of student activities. An introduction describes how the system simultaneously…

The TITA (Totally Interactive Testing and Analysis) System algorithm for the repetitive construction of domain-referenced tests utilizes a compact data bank, is highly portable, is useful in any discipline, requires modest computer hardware, and does not present a security problem. Clusters of related keyphrases, statement phrases, and distractors…
