From the Paper
"Computer-assisted instruction and cooperative learning have both received a great deal of attention of late in the professional literature on teaching. However, despite the amount of material written on them, the two teaching strategies have had mixed results in adapting to the real world of schooling. The idea of computer-assisted instruction was introduced in the 1960s, when advances in technology first made computers in education possible. Unfortunately, the computers of that time were very large and difficult to use. However, in the 1980s, microcomputers were introduced to the American public. This revolution has made it possible for almost every school in the nation to start their own program for instruction by computer. Because of the-increased use of small computers in both home and school, there has also been a revolution in the types of software ... "

Outline:
Introduction
Management Training and Leadership
Changing the Image Associated with Manufacturing
Employee Training and Retraining
Implementation of New Hiring Standards
Conducting an Internal Audit
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Since the job market has become tighter in recent years as employment levels have increased, manufacturers must develop wider hiring standards, and train a person with no skills as compared to hiring a person with previously acquired skills. Research indicates that government assistance in the form of tax credits would encourage manufacturers to train their low-level managers and non-supervisory employees. Increasing credits for manufacturers who use state certified education/training institutions would strengthen relationships between the industry and certified training providers (Carnevale, 1990). These ideas imply that the anticipation of rewards is important as well as the perceived contingency between the behaviors desired by the organization and the desired rewards. This also implies that since different people desire different rewards, organizations should try to match rewards with what employees want. However, there may be possible difficulties. Employees may not believe that good performance does in fact lead to more desired rewards, and convincing them may require more changes than the organization is prepared to make. Poor selection and training of employees, for example, even with maximum effort, results in poor performance.

The paper concludes with a remark about computer-assisted career guidance systems.
From the Paper
"The characteristics of CACG comprises definite content and process components of career-decision making for instance distinctive work responsibilities for a vocation or the potential to observe two occupational description at the same time. Computers can for sure assist in giving the information necessary to take decisions. Through the use of computers, total and also easily retrievable data files on various vocations can be obtained. Hence, computers can give the necessary information to formulate what Parsons marked as actual reasoning. Truly, information relating to the transforming career market and resources for training might be given in a better manner by the computers because of the vast quantity of career information a career counselor will have to collect to be helpful.

3,267 words (approx. 13.1 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 93.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how computers are now part of the foreign language classroom, how they assist instructors in the development of lessons and classroom materials and provide students with a supplementary form of instruction. It critically evaluates the efficacy of CALL (Computer Assisted Language Acquisition) through an examination of four research articles with a focus on the implications of the studies on SLA (Second Language Acquisition). The articles are "Evaluating the Integration of Technology and Second Language Learning" by Bonnie Adair-Hauck et al. , "Comparing Face-to-Face and Electronic Discussion in the Second Language Classroom" by Mark Warschauer and "Computer Generated Error Feedback and Writing Process: A Link" by Judy F. Chan.
Outline
"Evaluating the Integration of Technology and Second Language Learning"
"Comparing Face-to-Face and Electronic Discussion in the Second Language Classroom"
"Computer Generated Error Feedback and Writing Process: A Link"
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The primary purpose behind the Adair-Hauck et al' (1999) study was to test the hypothesis that students engaged in 'TELL components, in lieu of one class period a week would perform French tasks in all the skills as well as students meeting four times a week (p. 279).' Also under investigation was the potential effects TELL could have on foreign language motivation, how TELL influenced students perceptions of meeting their learning goals, how TELL modified the roles of teacher and learner, and, more generally, if TELL is an effective curricular design for achieving L2 development. The rationale behind the study came from the authors' assertion that few empirical CALL studies address the question, 'What kind of software, integrated how and into what kind of syllabus, at what level of language learning, for what kind of language learners, is likely to be effective for what specific purposes?

Abstract
This paper outlines computer-assisted instruction in the classroom, placing special attention upon the Skills Bank software this writer employs in her own work as a teaching aide working with high school students. The paper outlines the myriad benefits of the Skills Bank software and looks at how it serves to boost student self-confidence, enhance computer literacy, strengthen language arts skills, and does so without sacrificing high scholastic standards. Finally, the writer maintains that the software is excellent because it is also receptive to the needs of ESL students.
From the Paper
"Drawing upon my own knowledge of the software, I can state that the Skills Bank program allows for pre-test and post-test evaluations of students, provides numerous instructional and assignment options for both teachers (in the first instance) and students (in the second instance) and has the ability to produce comprehensive reports for teachers, students, and for school administrators. Not to be overlooked, the program interface is easy to use and students can usually utilize its various components without requiring the assistance of an instructor. In a related vein, the easy navigability of the program allows students to explore for themselves - something I have found to be a wonderful way of increasing their self-esteem. As an addendum, students learn to use the latest technology (and arguably the most important technology in our modern world) in a safe and supportive environment whenever they use Skills Bank software.

"The Effects of Computer-Assisted Instructions
Versus Verbal Oral Instructions
Abstract
"Computer-assisted instruction" is a much-debated topic in educational circles, and there is a reasonable amount of confusion concerning just how efficacious the term is. Part of the difficulty lies in the expansiveness of the subject itself, since CAI can range from simple "click here" programs designed to teach color and word identification to pre-schoolers to complex interactive anatomy software designed for medical students.
At issue, also, in this term is whether the CAI is as effective as the normal verbal/oral/human teaching paradigm, or is, in fact, more efficient. This proposal details..."

1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 16 sources, $ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"Computers are a part of the school system. They are a part of the daily lives of many middle-class American children. They are used for playing games, but also for teaching basic information and core curricula. How effective is computer-assisted instruction in the year 2000, particularly for those children with disabilities?
Review of the Literature
Contemporary research frequently focuses on comparing one type of computer-assisted instruction to another, rather than CAI with non- CAI instruction. It seems as though the value of CAI is a given, and researchers are strictly concerned with how effectively computers can be utilized (e.g. Wise et al., 1999; Quealy ..."

" THE EFFECTIVENESS OF COMPUTER-ASSISTED INSTRUCTION FOR READING:
AN OPINION PAPER
Introduction
Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) consists of computer technologies that aid or assist education; these technologies include guided drill and practice exercises, computer visualization of objects, and computer-facilitated communication (Gifford, 1993). This paper examines computer-assisted instruction in terms of its effectiveness as an educational technology for reading, defending the position that CAI helps to improve reading but it has some definitive limitations, the most important of which is that the technology does not really produce the key reading component of comprehension.
The paper begins with a discussion of the general.."

Abstract
This paper shows how the literary response during the early days of technology and the computer was mixed. Many sources feared that communication skills and literary skills would be lost as a result of technology. The paper looks at several articles and points of view in which the writers predicted opinions which ranged from unforeseen disasters, to great successes, as a result of the technology revolution.
From the Paper
"Communication is a key element of our society and the ways that we communicate in the information age has become a challenge in the 21st century. During the early days of technology and the computer most people wondered what would encompass being ?literary ? in the information age. How would we take the old ritual of literary culture and transform that skill into the bits of data and information that characterize the information age. Tracy Kidder?s book, The Soul of a New Machine provides a glimpse into the world of early technology. Kidder provides an account of the work done by a group of Data General engineers who are creating a new innovative computer. The book chronicles the project throughout the course of a year and examines the changes that take place in the lives of the team during various phases of the project."

Abstract
This paper discusses the work of Konrad Zuse who invented the world's first functional program-controlled computer. It explains how Zuse built his first prototype computer in 1936-38 using small metal plates as the key components, calling it the Z1. The paper also examines Zuse's remarkable advances in computer science and explains the development of each computer - from the Z1 to the Z4. Additionally, the paper looks at Konrad Zuse's company, Zuse KG.
From the Paper
"In the twenty first century, computers are so ubiquitous that it requires serious thought to envision the pre-computer world, or to realize the difficulties faced in developing the first computers. One of those responsible for several key early developments in computers has left us his first computer. Considering this crude device and reviewing the difficulties involved with that machine and its successor machines, we can perhaps grasp the obstacles early computer developers faced."

From the Paper
" The issue of privacy in the computer age is a many-faceted problem and the complexities have been perceived and have made it evident that legislation is required to control and direct the development of databases and their use in order to protect individual rights. One of the issues of concern is that of privacy rights and how they may conflict in an age when masses of information on the individual is stored in computers of many different types and for many different purposes, with the potential that this information could be misused, released to non-authorized parties, or linked together to produce profiles of the individual that could then be misused or otherwise made into a violation of the individual's privacy rights."

Abstract
This paper begins by discussing and defining the nature of spam. It compares the high costs of telemarketing and bulk mail to the low or no costs of spam on the sender. It also states that the receiver is burdened with the job of deleting and blocking future mail. The writer then looks at various economic issues related to spam - commission received by the sender and the negative effect it has on sincere advertising endeavours. The paper concludes with a discussion on what is being and can be done in the field to prevent and minimize spam.
From the Paper
"In the computer age, spam, or unsolicited e-mail advertising messages, is considered one of the primary evils that e-mail users have to deal with. While some consider spam as no more of an inconvenience than the traditional junk mail, others consider spam the most dire invasion of privacy since the invention of computers. According to a former spammer (Kosseff, 2003), the nearly $1,000 he made per week as a result of spamming practices was not worth the personal costs in terms of hate mail and threatening phone calls. The cost to the spammer however is much cheaper than the cost to the user. Once the initial investments in spamming equipment is made, it becomes very easy to send up to 10 million messages per day. Also, this practice can be set up to work automatically, so all the spammer needs to do is monitor the sending from time to time (Kosseff, 2003)."
