This paper describes PAL--a new computer language. It is used as a pedagogical vehicle in an undergraduate subject called "Programming Linguistics." This subject is designed primarily for sophomores who anticipate a major professional interest in computer science and has two objectives. The first is to study linguistic constructs for the…

A computer training model for school personnel can be divided into several phases that meet a district's goal of decentralizing the computerized administrative and instructional support system. Training involves such considerations as cost and job description revisions. (CJH)

Explores various issues, trends, and topics related to the impact and role of educational technology (particularly computers) on teaching and learning. Areas considered include how computers should be used, uses of such devices as interactive video for adult training, and the potential of artificial intelligence. (JN)

Describes the need for increased computer-aided-design (CAD) training, and a symbiotic relationship between education and industry which could increase the supply of trained operators of CAD equipment. Industry problems (and how education can help) and education's problems (and how industry can help) are considered. (JN)

A survey of managers of 44 American Bell branch offices demonstrated that the videodisc is a very efficient tool for product introduction and training. Highlights of the survey are reported, focusing on responses to four survey questions, including type of training (group/individual) and comparison of videodiscs to other training media. (JN)

Presents a history of Utah's WICAT Education Institute, and examines its role in the introduction of new delivery systems into educational environments. Several examples of institute projects are given, with emphasis on the development of programs which use computer and videodisc technologies. (MER)
