Considers the meaning of relevance and examines the role that relevance plays in information behavior. Literature on relevance is reviewed, cognitive and dynamic processing approaches to relevance are described, and 12 research questions are presented that address criteria users employ in evaluating information and suggest implications for systemdesign.

In the traditional CAL system the author generates material to be presented by computer, and the computer simply follows the explicit instructions of the author in interacting with a student. Intelligent tutoring systems rely on abstracting the implicit knowledge of a CAL system into explicit separable representations. There is a large gap between these two approaches which ECAL attempts to bridge by incorporating simple versions of ideas from artificial intelligence as extensions to a traditional CAL tool. It can be regarded as an experiment in minimalism in intelligent tutoring but it is also a practical educational tool. This paper introduces some of the authoring issues raised by ECAL, followed by a general view of the architecture of the system, and a discussion of the educational model which is implicit in ECAL. The final sections discuss the ECAL presentation system and the authoring environment.

This article outlines an approach to teaching database design principles via a simple case study. Databases can be powerful management tools providing they are correctly designed, however, this is commonly viewed as a difficult technical task. This article provides a simple step by step approach to the problem which has been adopted with second year undergraduate students who have come from both arts and science backgrounds. It describes the implementation of the approach and briefly considers the results.

Discusses the teaching consultant process in computer programing courses, describes a teaching consultant model from both the teachers' and students' perspectives, and shows how this model can be used to develop an intelligent teaching consultant (ITC). Differences between this collection of expert systems and conventional intelligent tutoring systems are examined. (13 references) (LRW)

Discussion of cognitive psychology focuses on two types of cognitive tools--power tools and assimilatory tools--which are geared to information acquisition. The distinction between accommodation and assimilation is explained, implications for the design of intelligent computer-assisted instruction (ICAI) are suggested, and the question of learner control is addressed.

This article will provide a brief overview of the primary computer network structures serving the U.S. academic research community. Plans for transforming the Internet into a National Research and Education Network are moving forward under the leadership of the National Science Foundation and the Federal Research Internet Coordinating Committee. The article outlines the scope of computational and information resources likely to be available to users through the national network, and highlights the role envisioned for the network in facilitating effective remote interaction by researchers with colleagues, scientific instruments, and data. When fully implemented, the national network can serve both as a powerful utility that extends the capabilities of scholars, scientists, and engineers, and as a testbed for an electronic information infrastructure available to every home, office and factory in the United States in the 21st century.
