Does anyone know how to get past the two purple monsters in the
stairwell? I've tried throwing everything I have and just punching the
you know what outta them, but no go. Any help would be appreciated.

For those who haven't played AITD, it's awesome!!! It has 3d hexagonal
graphics, but they are very well done and has incredible backdrops. Runs
just a bit slow on my 386sx/20, but it's not that bad. Great game!

not affect other people.  All those who do not customize, will see the

outside Oklahoma City. You may want to contact Ms. Jerrilee Mosier
at Ok. State University (405) 945-3250 for details. Odyssey is a
way of integrating new technologies and literary studies in a very

Best advice:  contact Dr. Robert D. Carlitz at U/Pittsburgh; he hosts

Michael Kramer, please do a lot of us a favor and post a

signal that is not compressed, which means that the language

compression schemes in order to incorporate visual data in

Subject:      IQ (Does it really matter?)

Listserv subscribers;

Lately there has been quite a discussion on the topic of IQ and I wanted
to ask those who have been active how you would change your instruction
based on differences in IQ?

According to ID methodology Intelligence Quotient is a stable difference
among people which is fundamentally related to learning from instruction.

I feel that it is our responsibility as Educational Technologists to plan
for and account for differences in IQ.  Perhaps learners with a higher IQ
can learn from a more generative approach, while those with lower IQ's can
learn from a more supplantive approach.  I'm not quite sure how we can
account for this theory in the classroom but that discussion is one that
I would love to become a part of.

I'm not sure that IQ in and of itself is the most critical aspect of education
that we should be dealing with.  I feel that the most critical issue is that
are students learning what they should be.  Simply stated "Are learning goals
being met?"  This is where Instructional Design enters the picture.  I feel
that for too long the educational burden has been placed on the next guy and
this is is a self-defeating philosophy.  This point was made in a recent
issue of Educational Technology (Nov 1992).

           (Berliner, 1992) states that maybe math and science proficiency
           isn't all that important anyway. {in international comparisons}
           And, besides, our kids stay in school longer than most kids from
           other countries, and will remedy their middle school deficiencies
           by the time they finish college.

Wrong Mr. Berlinger!  I would describe myself as a low achiever in both
areas aforementioned and did whatever it took to avoid those subjects
throughout my college career.  It is not the responsibility of American
Colleges and Universities to pick up the slack for inadequate preparation
during K-12.

According to Bloom the proposition that the "normal curve" should not be
the model of outcomes of instruction that we would expect from instruction.
Bloom believed (and I think most would agree) that instruction should be the
promoter of performance.  Further, it is the task of instruction to find the
means which will enable all students, with varying levels of Intelligence
Quotient to master the subject under consideration.

I'm off my soap box now.

Sincerely,
Don Tracia

Subject:      CoE Computer Labs

The building that houses our College of Ed computer lab is scheduled for
renovation, and, since as computer lab coordinator, I'm on the building
renovation committee.  I would appreciate any ideas about effective lab
floorplans, etc.  We need to plan for expansion, so I'm projecting that we
will eventually have (so need to plan for) 25 Macs, 25 IBM compatibles, 6
Apple IIgs's, printers, 2 scanners, two (?) modems, and networking.  I
envision 2 areas, with a sliding wall that can be closed when one of the
rooms is being used for a class.  Do we want to use 2 networks or 1?  We
want to provide access to the computer lab (through networking) from the
classrooms that will also be in the building, and possibly also to the
offices.

I have some ideas, but would appreciate input about other lab settings.
The renovation committee will meet shortly after the spriong semester
starts, and I need to have suggestions for consideration.

Although I'll be away for the holidays, I anxiously await the helpful
responses that always result from my pleas.  Thanks.

        Vickie--

        Thank you for your wise posting. I agree wholeheartedly
with your policy. This is a particularly ambiguous medium. In my
own experience I had a public response to an informational posting
that made me feel quite unappreciated. The person wrote, "We really
need more important announcements like this" and asked a simplistic
question. When I composed a careful note asking how
I should read the response my private communication drew a private
reply that the message was meant at face value--and I felt I had
learned something important. Sometimes I post views from a humanities
position to encourage the "metal detectors" in our field to think.
The results are somewhat discouraging when my original message is
fragmented with >>>>>> down the left margin and the ideas are chopped
and distorted. It is most weird when people who I know from
conferences and their printed writings as fairly reasonable do this.
Basically, I ignore the insult and assume the aggravating person is
responding to something else altogether such as being overworked,
and underpaid. Anyway, this is to thank you for moderating.

Subject:      Re: Writing Analysis Programs

In response to Krey, Sundin, Bluhm, etc.... some additional information
about RightWriter (version 4.0).
Like Corporate Voice, this version of RW uses the Flesch-Kincaid, Flesch,
and Fog readability indices.  F-K is the default; you can turn on the
others if you want.  The information about DOD requirements and the insur-
ance industry is paralleled in RW's manual.  Grade level estimates run from
 1 to 50 (50 is totally unreadable).  You can get just a summary of a
document or you can get every nitpickin' flag you want.
RW allows you to customize the writing style analysis to five pre-set styles.
These include fiction, business, manual, proposal, and technical.  You can
turn grammar, style, usage, and punctuation rules on or off.  You can specify
the statistics (words, syllables, etc.) in the summary, and you can turn
sentence structure recommendations on or off.
My assessment of RW 4 versus Grammatik 4 on a recent paper: G4 made many
error flags and gave little advice.  RW 4 gave better advice, fewer errors,
(I do know the difference between affect and effect, G4), and offered
substitute words that I often accepted.
My advice is to test drive the software with a few known files with specific
errors and to customize the settings for your own purposes.  My copy of RW4
is several years old.  Newer versions may be improved for both RW & Grammatik.

disclaimer: These are my opinions and not necessarily those of my employer,
etc. etc. etc.
