Abstract

Two current instructional research efforts relating to the problem of an individual student's learning and personal needs are reported. Characteristics of individualized instructions (e.g., terminal course objectives, remedial materials, measurement procedures), administrative constraints (e.g., fixed time, cost of equipment, lack of skilled instructors), training strategies and goals are discussed. The APSTRAT research involves peer instruction and provides for self-pacing, rapid feedback, an practice. Project IMPACT is an effort to provide the U.S. Army with an effective, efficient, and economical computer-administered instructional system.
