This bibliography contains annotations of reports, reviews, conference proceedings, other documents, and journal articles on computer based education (CBE), most of which were derived from a search of the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) system. Covering June 1976 through August 1980, this compilation serves as an update to two earlier papers--"The Best of ERIC: Recent Trends in Computer Assisted Instruction" (1973) and "Computer Assisted Instruction: The Best of ERIC 1973-May 1976." A brief introduction discusses instructional methods included in computer based education and explains the subject headings used in the bibliography: (1) historical references; (2) new technology, such as artificial intelligence and videodiscs; (3) new audiences, such as off-campus, handicapped, or incarcerated learners; (4) various content area applications including fields such as English, health sciences, languages, and social studies; (5) developmental efforts such as PLATO, TICCIT, and others concerned with teacher training; (6) basic research in computer assisted instruction; and (7) conference proceedings on computers in education. An author index is included as well as information for ordering ERIC documents. (BK)
