The sixth report and first annual update in a series of selected ERIC bibliographies on computer-based education begun in 1973, this report provides 213 citations and abstracts from the 346 relevant documents entered in the ERIC system in 1986. The emphasis in selection was on documents that focus broadly on the topic of computer-based education (CBI) and provide information to aid in the decision-making process. Because of the size of the database, documents pertaining specifically to CBI in universities and colleges have not been included. Materials appearing in this bibliography are presented under four broad headings: (1) Computer-Assisted Instruction, which includes overview documents, conference proceedings, and papers on developing computer-based instruction, including videodisc interactive courseware; (2) Special Applications, including computer literacy, copyright and computer software, computer equity, software evaluation, computer use in counseling and guidance, management applications, computer networking, computer testing, and trends in CBI; (3) Subject Applications, which covers basic skills, business education, English as a second language and foreign languages, language arts, LOGO, mathematics, reading, science, social studies, and vocational education; and (4) Special Populations, i.e., adult or distance education students and handicapped learners. An author index is provided, as well as information for ordering ERIC documents. (EW)
