One abstract and sixteen articles on computer networks and information systems guidance programs presented at the Association for Educational Data Systems 1976 convention are included in this document. Computer networks and information systems are discussed in eight articles: four articles describe regional educational information systems, three…

This book presents the cybernetic theory of learning and the evidence which supports it. Learning is more than the openloop forming of new stimulus-response associations--it is a process of reorganization of sensory feedback within a closed loop, or pattern, which increases the learner's level of control over his own behavior and the stimuli in…

This case study presents information about a graduate-level certificate program in human computer interaction that was added to the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (New York) satellite video program in 1996, as a cooperative program between the institution and the IBM Corporation. The program was designed for individuals who work in computer…

The emphasis of this text is that the problems of information retrieval are the intellectual ones of subject analysis and description. These problems are not easily solved by technology alone, although certain inroads are being made by knowledge-based expert systems and other computer aids to indexing. Linguistic approaches are also showing…

The research design is presented for an evaluation of a computer based career guidance program, SIGI (System of Interactive Guidance and Information), designed by Educational Testing Service to assist community college students in improving their ability to make career decisions. The plan described is for the Pasadena City College field test--a…

The document is one of seven volumes of instructional materials developed around a cluster of Transportation Industries. Primarily technical in focus, they are designed to be used in a cluster-concept program and to integrate with a regular General Education Development (G.E.D.) program so that students may attain an employable skill level and a…

Intended as a review of the state of the art and future trends of computer-based learning materials (CBLM), this document has been written for use by individuals of various constituencies including institutional users, CBLM planners, and state and federal level administrators. Among the major themes concerning CBLM are: (1) its diversity and…

This volume of Proceedings of the American Society for Information Science is limited to the text of papers accepted and scheduled for presentation at the 1975 meeting. The papers reflect the need to address and define issues in national information policy, and they examine the current state of federal-level planning and funding of information…

Eighteen papers on instructional technology, computerized testing, and computer assisted test construction (CATC) presented at the 1976 Association for Educational Data Systems (AEDS) convention are included here. Two papers discuss computer assisted instruction in calculus and teacher education courses. The use of computers in theoretical…

This handbook was assembled for vocational educators so that they can see the applications of microcomputers in both their instructional and administrative tasks. The 22 papers included in the handbook were written by educators who are and have been using microcomputers extensively in their work. The first section of the handbook discusses the…

This study examined gender differences and the process of Internet-assisted inquiry in a single-sex, technology-enhanced environment as female students pursued research topics within a math and science framework. Five group case studies consisted of various configurations selected from a cohort group of students and teachers representing two city…

The IADIS CELDA 2012 Conference intention was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There had been advances in both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a…
