ABSTRACT
The TICCIT project (Time-shared, Interactive, Computer-controlled Information Television) being developed jointly by the MITRE Corporation and Brigham Young University is now installed and operating at BYU with 30 terminals. The software for on-line authoring is being used to input more than six semesters of material in Mathematics and English instruction for Community Colleges. Two community colleges have been selected for a field test in 1974-75. They are Phoenix College and Northern Virginia Community College in Alexandria.
The innovative concepts of learner-controlled courseware were illustrated by means of 35 mm. slides. These concepts include the objectives and status display (MAP), the primary instruction logic of the learner-control command language, and the Advisor program.
The modularity of design for learner-controlled courseware permits differentiated staffing for the production of large volumes of quality material. The production procedures for learner-controlled courseware, involving roles of different team members, were briefly described.
