By using teletypewriters connected to the Harwell multi-access computing system, lecturers can easily demonstrate the operation of the computer in the classroom; this saves time and eliminates errors and staff can carry out exercises using the main computer. (EB)

Describes a school that teaches novice microcomputer users the hows and whys of their complex, new, high-technology world. Courses offered range from basic levels assuming no computer literacy to advanced studies in programming. (Author/JN)

The author describes a model for microcomputer education designed for gifted students from primary to secondary grade levels. The program incorporates three levels--computer awareness, computer literacy, and computer programing. Each of the three levels is explored. (SW)

The Computer Museum in Marlborough, Massachusetts houses old and not-so-old calculators, famous old computers and parts of computers, photographs and assorted memorabilia, computer-generated murals, and even a computer made of Tinkertoys that plays tick-tack-toe. The development of the museum and selected exhibits is described. (Author/JN)

This interview reviews Don Knuth's life and contributions and his views on a variety of mathematical and computer-related topics. He is viewed as the pre-eminent scholar of computer science in the world, and is probably best known for a series of books titled, "The Art of Computer Programing." (MP)

Discussed is the need to improve computer literacy, primarily by the education community, throughout every segment of the population in order to take advantage of technological advancements, ultimately so that worker productivity can be increased. (TG)

Discusses the importance of providing students with information about certification. Included advantages of certification for employers, employees, and others and discusses certifications sponsored by professional associations. Includes certification resources such as websites, books, and organizations. (JOW)

Theoretical issues of computer science are traditionally taught in a way that presupposes a solid mathematical background and are usually considered more or less inaccessible for students without this. An effective methodology is described which has been developed for a target group of university students with different backgrounds such as natural…

Open online courses (OOC) with a massive number of students have represented an important development for online education in the past years. A course on artificial intelligence, CS221, at the University of Stanford was offered in the fall of 2011 free and online which attracted 160,000 registered students. It was one of three offered as an…
