The Application of Computers to Learning in the Command and General Staff College: Identification of Computer Opportunities
Abstract
A front-end analysis was conducted regarding the expansion of the use of computers in instruction at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College (CGSC). Instruction at the CGSC is aimed principally at small groups of students. The underlying teaching philosophy emphasizes the students' responsibility to apply in classroom interactions, concepts, and procedures learned earlier in individual study. This instructional strategy readily lends itself to applications of computers to learning (ACL) from each of the categories used by the project team. However, introduction of many computer applications into college classrooms would need to take place over a period of years, depending upon how quickly the needed computers can be acquired and the appropriate software written. This report suggests appropriate ACL for each subcourse of selected courses taught at the CGSC and how much of each subcourse might eventually be taught by using those applications. This report presents the findings and recommendations of Task G of the Front-end Analysis. Other reports are separately bound. The reports all have the beginning title, The Application of Computers to Learning in the Command and General Staff College. Keywords: Computer based training; Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI); Intelligent tutoring systems.
