Abstract | This report describes a study conducted to provide information that could be used as a basis for program decision making when adult basic education (ABE) program personnel in Washington purchase an integrated computerized learning system. During the project, the following activities were carried out: (1) programs and systems in use in ABE programs in the state of Washington during the 1989-90 school year were identified; (2) an advisory committee was formed; (3) evaluation criteria for use in looking at large computer-based instructional systems were developed; (4) five systems currently in use in Washington that have high consumer interest were identified; (5) an in-depth, on-site examination of these five systems was conducted; and (6) a final report was prepared with specific information about each system. Systems evaluated and described in this report are the CCC Instructional System (Computer Curriculum Corporation, Palo Alto, California); CCP System (Comprehensive Competencies Program, U.S. BASICS, Alexandria, Virginia); ClassWorks System (Computer Networking Specialists, Walla Walla, Washington); PLATO System (Control Data, Rolling Meadows, Illinois); and WICAT System (WICAT Systems, Orem, Utah). A matrix compares characteristics of the five systems. Survey results and the evaluation instrument and checklist are appended. (KC) |
