Computerized Hand-Held Instructional Prototype (CHIP)

Abstract

This report describes the development and evaluation of the Computerized Hand-held Instructional Prototype (CHIP). CHIP is a self-contained and fully portable, battery operated training device small and light enough to be hand-held during operation. The report describes the CHIP and its software, and summarizes five applications in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. CHIP produces the best results when used as a voluntary trainer to supplement lectures and practical exercises outside the classroom. Recommendations for the use of CHIP in schoolhouse exercises and in the field are included. Keywords: Computer games, Computer assisted instruction.
