| Abstract | The MITRE Corporation is attempting to catalyze the mass dissemination of an educationally sound form of Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) through a multi-year program of development, demonstration, and evaluation, sponsored by the National Science Foundation. The goal of this program is to demonstrate that CAI can provide today better instruction at less cost than traditional instruction.in community colleges. Significant products of the program include: two demonstration systems, each with 128 student terminals; four full semesters of community college math and English courses replacing up to 20 percent of all classroom time taken by the average student, and a complete package of authoring and delivery software. Major innovations include: Courseware in math and English designed accr,rding to a new synthesis of instructional theorems to produce high levels of mastery, and to improve learning strategies, to foster attitudes that lead to approach rather than avoidance, and to develop responsibility. The use of audio and color TV displays (the Digicolor System) in the student terminals to provide voice-accompanied multicolored alphanumeric and graphic displays, as well as full-color sound movies. The use of a pair of minicomputers to provide the necessary computer power in a self-contained system of 128 terminals. A low system costroughly $450,000 today for one complete, self-contained system with terminals, and a projected cost of less than $250,000 in moderate quantities. Team organization and training procedures for cost-effective large-scale courseware production which is transferable to education or industry. A new on-line authoring system styled to support the production of high-quality CAI. The innovative use of a "learner control" command language to facilitate the development of efficient strategies and positive attitudes. An implementation planning model designed in cooperation with skilled college administrators and teachers which can facilitate faculty acceptance and system integration into colleges. A projected commercial cost including hardware, equipment maintenance, and CAI programs of less than one dollar per student contact hour. This CAI system has been termed TICCIT, for Time-Shared, Interactive, ComputerControlled Information Television. iii |
