Described herein are the activities of the Southwest Region Educational Computer Network (SRECN) which was established under funding from the National Science Foundation to provide, via a network, remote computing services to institutions lacking adequate facilities. The report details how SRECN sought to develop the teaching of computer science at participating institutions, to modify and augment the curriculum at each school to incorporate computing methods in established disciplines, and to develop and implement the hardware, communications and computer software essential to the first two objectives. It describes the hardware and central facility of the project and the languages, operating system, remote terminal system and communications used. The library and utility programs are detailed, along with the services, operating schedules, network instructional activities, training programs for faculty and costs. In addition, there are included from each participating institution an evaluation of its experience, a description of the hardware and service it employed and an enumeration of the courses which used network services.
