Explaining the operation of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and describing the way it interacts with other components in a microprocessor-based system can be a challenging task for the instructor. This is especially true with large classes, which is typically the case for an introductory course in microprocessors. In a small class setting, the combination of lectures, textbook presentations and selected visual examples with a laboratory and the fact that the ratio of students to instructor is low might be an adequate and successful approach to present and explain the underlying concepts to students. However, as the size of the class increases and the instructor is faced with a wide spectrum of backgrounds and cognitive and visualization skills, these teaching tools might not provide each and every student with the required insight into the behavior of microprocessors and microprocessor-based systems. In this paper, we will report on a tutorial software that can be used in conjunction with the aforementioned resources to aid in introducing the students to the inner workings of a microprocessor and clarifying the relationship between its internal components and the external hardware. The educational impact of this approach and the students' reaction to this approach will also be discussed.

THE SITE MACHINE is one of two prototype, graphics-based programs written to evaluate the potential of computer-aidedinstruction (CAI) programs in architectural education. Some CAI systems are now highly developed but almost no use has occurred in architectural education. The special characteristics and diverse nature of architectural education as well as the requirement for fast, highquality graphics, especially in the design areas, requires special applications and consideration. THE SITE MACHINE was a research attempt in open ended problem solving at the high end of a hierarchy of computer use in CAI in architecture. The major objectives of the test programs were: I. To determine the feasibility of implementing viable CAI programs using existing computing resources at reasonable development and user costs and to determine the useability of existing developed programs, techniques, capabilities and algorithms from CAI, computer graphics, mathematical and spatial modeling. 2. Identify problems of acceptance and use by present faculty members, compatability and ease of integration in the curriculum, acceptance, use and motivation of student users. 3. Develop test programs that will identify student differences in learning, recognize subject mastery and demonstrate that learning has occurred. 4. Test initial ideas, concepts, instructional models and provide guidance and direction for future research and development efforts. THE SITE MACHINE provides site descriptions and display and a problem solving environment for site analysis and design. Several aspects of the site including sun, wind, soil, trees, water, subsurface conditions, setbacks, easements and view may be considered in selecting the best location and orientation for a proposed building. Several analytical tools are provided to aid in the decision making process. The program was tested with students in an architectural design class, and with student and faculty volunteers from architecture, urban planning
In response to the need for interactive computer-aidedinstruction (CAI) tools for higher education, we developed a prototype VLSI tutorial using the NeXT Workstation. The NeXT workstation was used as the CAI platform...

Our economy is undergoing a period of rapid change. A second industrial revolution is in process. The key to economic survival in these increasingly dynamic times is an educated workforce. The importance of mass education does not eclipse the need for customized education. Artificial intelligence technologies can drive multimedia systems, which can provide an unprecedented level of individual attention throughout the educational process. Such systems will present an exo-intelligence over the information superhighway. They will teach us how to learn more effectively;and, that is the key to prosperity.

Discusses the influence of decreasing hardware costs on future development of CAI projects. The developments of suitable courseware are dealt with, outlining three main categories of authoring concepts (pre-guessed student responses, discovery-oriented approach and an approach by which the student becomes a learning strategist). Some of the major CAI development centres are surveyed and results achieved with Plato and Ticcit projects are outlined. An outlook into future developments is presented.
