The Course-Management System was designed to integrate books, computers and live teachers in an effective manner for courses with large numbers of students and instructors. The logistic problems associated with multifaceted instructional programs were solved, in part, by using PLATO--a computer-assisted instruction system centered at the University of Illinois. Students in the computer-managed course acquire basic information and concepts from individual reading. Their attention to the material is maintained and their progress monitored by a previously developed Computer-Assisted Instruction Study-Management System. Lectures and standard quiz sections are little used. The time of instructors is invested in remediation for students having trouble mastering the core curriculum and in teaching seminars. The role of the computer is to manage study behavior, administer on-line achievement tests, and schedule group tutorial and seminar sessions.

Abstract: Techniques for designing and developing text materials are described and elaborated for text development technologists. This book focuses on 2 broad categories of techniques for structuring textual materials, termed "implicit" (e.g.: discourse analysis, elaboration theory) and "explicit" (e.g.: algorithms, tables, diagrams) techniques. Implict techniques are concerned with the structure of the content and sequencing of the message; explicit techniques display the structure of the message. The 4 sections of the book address; implicit communication techniques; explicit textual design; specific design problems; and how individuals differentially interact with text materials, ranging from printed matter to television projections.

Research in cognitive psychology, linguistics, and artificial intelligence – the three disciplines that have the most direct application to an understanding of the mental processes in reading – is presented in this multilevel work, originally published in 1980, that attempts to provide a systematic and scientific basis for understanding and building a comprehensive theory of reading comprehension. The major focus is on understanding the processes involved in the comprehension of written text. Underlying most of the contributions is the assumption that skilled reading comprehension requires a coordination of text with context in a way that goes far beyond simply chaining together the meanings of a string of decoded words. The topics discussed are divided into five general areas: Global Issues; Text Structure; Language, Knowledge of the World, and Inference; Effects of Prior Language Experience; and Comprehension Strategies and Facilitators, and represent a broad base of methodology and data that should be of interest not only to those concerned with the reading process, but also to basic science researchers in psychology, linguistics, artificial intelligence, and related disciplines.
