Computer-Aided Authoring of Programmed Instruction for Teaching Symbol Recognition.

Abstract

Publishing technical manuals and training handbooks for new Navy equipment is a high cost operation. In addition, current practices frequently result in the technical data being delivered late or in a form too complex for the reader to use. There are also problems in keeping technical data current and in distributing and storing the data where it is needed. The objective of this report is tto describe AUTHOR, a computer program for the automated authoring of programmed texts designed to teach symbol recognition. In addition, sample texts, which represent various levels of off-line editing, are provided to indicate the full range of authoring automation. An operator's handbook and program listing are provided in a companion report (TAEG Report No. 59).
