Courseware development is keyed to identifying the developer or developers, and faculty should be involved at each step of the process. Procedures for a team approach to development, which appears to have the greatest potential are provided for the guidance of team members in an open-systems approach to CAI (RAO)

This paper describes a computer managed instruction package for teaching introductory or advanced statistics. The instructional package is described and anecdotal information concerning its performance and student responses to its use over two semesters are given. (Author/BL)

"Instructional design" technology focuses on the learning process and student achievement rather than on the teaching process and student control. Adoption of this technology permits the effective use of computer-managed instruction as a learning tool. Teachers must learn to use both the technology and the tool to improve instruction. (PGD)

Describes classroom management and learning activity applications of microcomputers in Future Homemakers of America/Home Economics Related Occupations group activities. (SK)

CAMEO is a system that combines computer technology with a resource of objectives to provide a flexible, time-saving solution to the workload created by individualized education programs (IEPs) for handicapped students. Results of a field test demonstrated that CAMEO reduced preparatory and clerical time without compromising the ability to address…

The benefits of management computer technology for both classroom and resource teachers of the hearing impaired are described. Their advantages in planning and organization tasks are illustrated by examples of the management system at Rochester School for the Deaf and its use in two specific areas: the reading checklist file and speech production…

A case study of what one company did to increase the productivity of its sales force and generate cost savings by using computer-assisted instruction to teach salespeople at regional offices. (Editor)

Presents a case for the integration of stand-alone microcomputers into the educational environment through time-sharing networks utilizing medium to large-scale central computer facilities. The PLATO system is used to illustrate the evolution of distributed processing in the computer-based education environment. (Author)

Guidelines for securing and maintaining local funding for computer-related projects include suggestions in the areas of establishing and maintaining project/school board relationships, encountering social and political factors, and defining guidelines for project implementation. Successes and failures of the MICA project are provided as…

This guide in the selection of instructional computer systems compares four systems representing different cost categories in terms of 25 parameters. Costs and benefits of each system are enumerated, and problems associated with cost benefit analysis are discussed. (Author/JEG)

Explores how integrating best practices for "deeper learning" with the robust tools provided by course management systems can create a very effective, engaging, and student-centered learning environment. (EV)

Presents an overview of the features of course management systems as they pertain to teaching online courses. Specifically, it identifies tools and techniques related to the effective use of management features, assessment options, instructional activities, and communication in online courses. (EV)

Discusses computer-managed learning (CML), which uses a microcomputer to present educational material to students. CML presents content, graphics, and activities, usually in the form of questions to students to allow them to assess their own learning progress. (JOW)

Describes the use of computer-generated procedures designed to reduce inappropriate behavior and facilitate learning in the juvenile correctional educational setting. A step-by-step methodology and an extensive list of print, software, and thermographic resources are included to facilitate classroom implementation. (Author)

Course management systems (CMSs) are software systems designed to manage course content and course activities. These tools integrate technological and pedagogical features into a web-based system that allows instructors, even those who are unfamiliar with web-based technologies, to design, deliver, and manage an online course. However, CMSs have…
