Computer Assisted Learning '83 : Selected Proceedings From the Computer Assisted Learning 83 Symposium Heldon 13-15 April 1983 at the University of Bristol

CAL 83 was organised by the Council for Educational Technology in conjunction with Pergamon Press. The selected proceedings include papers from four broad themes: fundamental aspects of CAL, case studies in CAL, hardware for CAL, and future developments, and also two keynote papers by Professors Bork and Alty respectively. The increasing interest in CAL applications in schools is evident from the number of related papers.
