Seeks
Computer
Applications
in
Education
By BARBARA SEYFRIED
The University recently joined
with eight other colleges and uni-
versities to form the Interuniver-
sity Communications Council-In-
terCom for short-to study how
new computer techniques can be'
integrated into higher education.
While this is not the first at-
tempt to establish such a multi-
school study organization, it is
the first try to maintain a study
group with such a computer-ori-
ented approach to existing disci-
plines.
The goals of this new organi-
zation are to work on several prob- cilities to become more and more
lems in colleges and universities. impersonal.
" The mushrooming growth of
new information and the corres-
ponding inability of teachers, sci-
entists and students to keep up
with current developments in their
fields.
* The influx of large student
populations with corresponding
teacher and building shortages.
* The inability of small colleges
to provide expensive libraries and
research equipment.
* Tendencies for universities
that have large educational fa-
The Week To Come:
A Campus Calendar
To work toward its goals, Inter-
Com is appointing six committees
to work on different aspects of
these problems. They will probably
be set up within the next few
months.
InterCom will also study the
various methods of organizing irk-
formation networks to help solve
the problems of information dis-
persal.
Time Lag
There is at present a consider-
able time lag between the time
research is completed in the lab-
oratory and the time it becomes,
generally available to the public.-
Spreading information over large
areas also presents great problems.
Areas which lack facilities to
maintain large libraries are at a
disadvantage because they do not
have the means to disperse in-
formation.
One of the InterCom commit-
tees will center on the biomedical
sciences, where noncomputerized
and partially computerized na-
tional information centers already
exist and where the need is acute
for rapid up-to-date information
in the prevention and treatment
of diseases.
Future Doctor
Dr. James G. Miller, director of
the Mental Health Research Insti-
tute and recently named executive
director of InterCom, pictures thet
future doctor as able to ask a
question about the latest research
in a specific medical field aid re-
ceive a detailed list of sources
through the computer.
The doctor could then decide
which article had the most perti-
nent information or let the com-
puter do it on the basis of fur-
ther information. The computer
could then deliver a copy of the
desired article.
InterCom's second committee
will work on a feasible means of
revising copyright laws. Once this
is done, books with needed infor-
mation in them may be copied
and dispersed.
Network
Eventually members of Inter-
Com hope to have a network of
computers interconnected so that
research results at one university
are readily available to a scientist
at another university although he
may not have been aware of the
research project itself when he
requested information on a sub-
ject.
Miller said he hopes that this
will cut the time lag between the
completion of research and dis-
semination of information by
making the information available
before publication.
InterCom hopes to gradually
expand membership to other uni-
versities and colleges across the
nation. According to Miller, many
have already expressed an inter-
est in the project.
A third committee of Inter-
Com will study teaching and learn-
ing systems. The committee will
develop projects relating to pro-
grammed learning, audio-visual
aids - including television - in-
structional models, and the appli-
cation of computers to the teach-
ing-learning process.
Sharing
It is hoped that by utilizing
computers, smaller colleges will
be able to share some of the bene-
fits of the library facilities of
the multiversity which the small-
er college cannot afford.
Eventually, it is hoped, ma-
chine learning methods can be
utilized in high schools insuring
a more advanced student enter-
ing the universities, but this is in
the distant future.
Another advantage seen by
InterCom of using computers is
to adopt the computer to daily
service operations. Basically it is
hoped that computers can be used
so that duplication of a student's
records in various departments
can be eliminated.
This would also cut down the
time required to find out statistics
concerning such things as the av-
erage grade point of students in
a particular course.
A fourth area InterCom will
set up a committee to investigate
is that of continuing education.
With the high rate of increase
in the amount of knowledge avail-
able, many professional people
find it difficult to keep up. The
committee will study methods for
maintaining continued education.
InterCom will also set up a
fifth committee to deal with co-
ordinating educational programs
at the collegiate, graduate and
professional levels. It is hoped to
establish a greater continuity of
subject presentation through the
educational process .
Sixth Area
A sixth task force which has
been set up will deal with medi-
cal clinics and hospitals. It will
study the use of computers and
telemetry systems in diagnosis,
monitoring of patients, automation
of clinical laboratories and main-
tenance and utilization of clinical
records.
InterCom besides establishing
task forces to consider various
problems in education will estab-
lish an information center on
communication techniques avail-
able and used at universities.
Membership in InterCom is on
an institutional rather than an in-
dividual basis. The seven other
colleges responsible for the for-
mation of InterCom are Duke Uni-
versity, the State University of
New York, the University of Cali-
fornia, the University of Illinois,
the University of Pittsburgh, the
University of Rochester and the
University of Virginia.
