THIS PROJECT WOULD DEVELOP AN INTERFACE BOARD FOR THE IBM PERSONAL COMPUTER AND COMPATIBLES WHICH WOULD ALLOW SOFTWAREDEVELOPERS TO PRODUCE INEXPENSIVE MULTISENSORY COURSEWARE. THE STUDENTS USING THE COURSEWARE WOULD GET HUMAN VOICE VER BAL INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO OPERATE THE COMPUTER AN BE TAUGHT THE SUBJECT MATTER THROUGH VERBAL. VISUAL AND TACTILE INTER ACTION WITH THE COMPUTER. TO KEEP THE METHO ...

THIS RESEARCH PROJECT FOCUSES ON DESIGNING A PROGRAM THAT APPLIES MODERN PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES OF TESL, BILINGUAL EDUCATION, AND SECOND LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION TO TEACHING SPANISH-SPEAKING JR. HIGH SCHOOL LEP STUDENTS SCIENCE CONCEPTS IN THE CONTEXT OF AN INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA ENVIRONMENT. SUBJECT CONTENT, PEDAGOGICAL ISSUES, AND TECHNOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS ARE EXAMINED TO DETERMINE THE SCOPE OF ...

NEW SAGE WILL DEVELOP SOFTWARE THAT CAN TEACH BEGINNING ARABIC (AND PERSIAN) SKILLS. THE SYSTEM WILL BE A RESPONSIVE, STUDENT-DRIVEN, INTERACTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT USING MACINTOSH COMPUTERS. KEY TO THE DESIGN IS THE INTEGRATION OF SEVERAL KNOWLEDGE BASES INTO THE INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN: 1) A RICH (BUT NOT LARGE) DICTIONARY -- FOR KNOWLEDGE OF WORD MEANINGS, 2) LINGUISTIC RULES -- FOR GENERATION A ...

PERSONAL COMPUTERS ARE NORMALLY CONTROLLED BY ENTERING DATA INTO A KEYBOARD AND MONITORING THE RESULTS ON A VIDEO TERMINAL. MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED CANNOTUSE KEYBOARDS AND VIDEO TERMINALS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR THE BLIND. EXISTING DEVICES WHICH HELP THE HANDICAPPED OVERCOMETHESE BARRIERS ARE EITHER SLOW AND CUMBERSOME OR USE CUSTOM SOFTWARE WHICH RESTRICTS THEIR USE. WESTEST ENGIN ...

NEW SAGE HAS UNDERTAKEN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPUTERIZED ENVIRONMENT FOR TESTING AND REMEDIATING A VARIETY OF READINGDISABILITIES. IT IS CALLED DELVE. THE TEST IS BASED ON A MULTIDIMENSIONAL MODEL OF READING SKILL COMPONENTS. DELVE PRESENTS ITEMS TO TEST ALL READING SKILL AREAS, PRESENTS A VARIETY OF DIAGNOSTIC DATA, SUGGESTS APPROPRIATE REMEDIATION, AND THEN PROVIDES GAMES DESIGNED TO BEEF UP WE ...

Not Available The high performance, high power density combustors being proposed for IHPTET III must operate without exhinbintng combustion instability. There is a need to develop a time-accurate CFD combustion dynamics code that provides improved understanding of the acoustic/heat-release coupling and is able t predict the frequency and limit cycle of the instability. The code also needs to be p ...

Not Available We propose a proof of concept demonstration of micro-balloon vortex generators and micromachined hot film sensor arrays for active control of flow separation. This program is the first step toward the development of conformal micro-balloon vg appliques. Appliques fabricated with co-located microsensors and balloon vg's will provide a revolutionary closed loop, seamless flow control ...
