WHAT’S NEW B
Qi EDUCATION?!
by William A. Fowler,
Recycle Your
Career
In today’s world of
accelerated developments in
technology, it is almost
mandatory for men and
women to engage in
supplemental education and
training. Experts predict the
average worker may expect to
“recycle his career” - that is -
change his occupation, from
five to nine times during his
working life.
Where do you get this “extra
education?” Here are some
ways: (1) Institutions of higher
learning offer day and evening
courses in professional,
vocational and tecnniccal
fields. (2) Many companies
provide and pay for employee
training courses to assist them
in upgrading their job
potential. (3) Correspondence
schools offer an opportunity
for education in your spare
time at home. According to the
Natuonal Home Study Council,
which has over 100 accredited
member schools, there are 1.5
million students enrolled today
in home study.
R.E. Buono of Fort
Washington, Pa., for example,

too difficult to master at his

Computers
Take Over
Classroom
In this age of ultra modern
technology, Fort Gordon’s
Signal School is right with the
times with its computer-teach
ing program - Project Abacus.
Project Abacus is the name
of a program in the Signal
School Data Systems Division.
Under Abacus, three Signal
School courses - Field Radio
Repair, Avionics Equipment
Repair, and Teletypewriter
Equipment Repair - comprise
the computer-teaching system.
“These courses are mostly
taught by instructors but the
management of records is by
computer,” said Charles
Clements, training specialist for
Data Systems. He explained,
“Under Project Abacus are
three main categories:
Computer Assisted Instruction
(CAI) - some course instruction
is by computer; Computer
Managed Instruction (CMI) - all
student records are
computer-kept; and Computer
Directed Instruction (CDI) -
the computer, based on the
student’s progress, directs the
student to certain specialized
aspects of the course pursued,”
he said.
According to the training
specialist, the major thrust of
Abacus is not the instruction
per se but the CMI and the
CDI. “These two functions

keep tire instructors free to
teach and prepare course
material instead of keeping
records,” added Clements.
All three courses under
Abacus are selfpaced. “Right
now,” added Clements, “only
parts of the three courses are
under the Project. However,
all segments of the courses
should be completely under
Abacus within two months,”
he added.
Approximately 500 students
are in the three courses.
According to Clements, most
of the students have said they
are working much harder than
they did before Project Abacus
began operating.
The basic method of
computer instruction is by
keyboard and video screen.
The students use the keyboard
to send and receive questions
and answers (the answers
appear on the video screen).
Clements said 128 of these
students terminals are located
in several Signal School
buildings. These buildings -
Greely Hall, Brant Hall, and
Moran Hall - are the classroom
locations.
“If this Project proves
practical,” said Clements, “we
hope to expand it using other
courses.” The training
specialist said the Signal School
was chosen by the Training and
Doctrine Command because
self-paced, hard-skilled courses
were needed.
Because the three courses
under the Abacus project are
hardskilled, only interim tests
are given. The final test -
practical application - is given
by the instructor and
determines whether or not a
student passes or fails the
pursued course of instruction.
“We hope to show,” said
Clements, “that for the first
time hard-skilled courses can
be computer-managed.”
