Two abstracts and seventeen articles on computer assisted instruction (CAI) presented at the 1976 Association for Educational Data Systems (AEDS) convention are included here. Four new computer programs are described: Author System for Education and Training (ASET); GNOSIS, a Swedish/English CAI package; Statistical Interactive Programming System (SIPS); and Instructional Dialogue Facility (IDF) which helps classroom teachers learn CAI languages. Six papers examine interactive computer systems and interactive CAI, and one paper describes an interactive educational system which uses video discs in conjunction with computers. Six papers describe various programs: a CAI course in logic instruction for department of defense personnel, CAI for computer science education, computers for drill and practice in math, and general use of CAI in elementary school classrooms. A computer program which monitors student progress in calculus is described, and user groups are the topic of one article. (CH)
