LRC History - **UPDATE COMING SOON!** LRC Director Emeritus Duane M. Rumbaugh is a comparative psychologist whose research into the nature of the learning and language processes of primates, in relation to their brain evolution and development, dates back to 1958 when he conducted research with the great apes at the San Diego Zoo and with monkeys at San Diego State College. He served as chairman of the Psychology Department and as Regents' Professor of Psychology and Biology at Georgia State University from 1971 until his retirement in 2000. From 1969 to 1971 he served as Associate Director and Chief of Behavior at the Yerkes Regional Primate Center of Emory University. In 1971, Rumbaugh initiated the Lana Chimpanzee Language Project and led the development of a computer-monitored keyboard for that and other projects which have followed to this day at the LRC. Similar keyboards are used by researchers in Japan and also at Disney World. Some of the projects have included children and young adults whose language development was compromised by mental retardation. In 1981 he helped found the university's Language Research Center and served as its director until the summer of 2001. Rumbaugh received his master's degree from Kent State University in 1951 and his Ph.D. in general-experimental psychology from the University of Colorado, Boulder, in 1955. He has had continuous grant support from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development since 1971 to the present. Other agencies to support his research have been NSF and NASA.

ARTICLE: How Computers Should Be Used at X College An explanation of how computers can be used as effective teaching tools in a two-year college English class. How Computers Should Be Used at X College The paper has been modified only by substituting "X" or "our" for the name of the school and by using "composition class" and "remedial English" for the class titles and numbers. E very newspaper, radio news program, or TV newscast seems to include a mention of computers these days. As far as sales are concerned, the computer is the hoola-hoop or Walkman of the nineties. However, computers are more than a fad. Computers can improve the quantity, the quality, and the presentation of work output. In addition, the job market is undergoing a violent shift towards the flexible, communicative, self-motivated worker: the worker who can get tasks accomplished. The student who craves success needs to acquire skills in every area but must be computer literate to enhance and implement these skills. For this reason, our college needs to emphasize computer use. Experience at X College shows that the best method to get the students to use computers is by having them use the computers in class. I t may seem odd that English teachers everywhere have jumped on the computer class bandwagon. It does not seem odd to anyone who has taught a computer writing class. Students in these classes take more care in writing their papers and go back to correct errors that they would otherwise ignore. This quarter, with my composition classes divided between the computer lab and a comfortable classroom with broad, flat tables, I have noticed that the students working in the classroom come in late, try to leave early, and work in a desultory fashion while the students working in the computer lab tend to start early, finish late, and stay focused on their tasks.

About Trail and New Trail ... Reaching Beyond for 90 Years (Faculty of Extension) The Computer as Teacher By Steve Hunka The demands placed upon a computer when it is used for instruction are not minor. The computing system must be able to operate sufficiently fast to give each student the feeling that the system has his undivided attention. The computer system must be able to present pictures, such as x-rays, electrocardiograms, statistical charts, tables, and graphs, in color or black and white. The same system must be able to permit the very young child as well as the sophisticated adult to communicate with it; for example, a very young child cannot use the typewriter keyboard but has the capacity to point at an object or drawing. Similarly, the young child may not be able to read, and thus requires a voice to give him directions: a more sophisticated adult might wish to hear a recording of the sound of a defective heart. Thus, an audio system is required for the computer. The computing system operated by the Division of Educational Research Services is an IBM 1500 system which has all the devices necessary to teach very young students as well as mature adults. This computer has connected to it nineteen learning stations. Or computer terminals. Sixteen of the learning stations contain an image projector capable of showing any one of a thousand pictures in black and white or color, a television screen on which textual material or drawings may be placed (A Hebrew or Russian character set is no problem since an author can design and hold within the computer the characters he requires for his course.) The same station has a keyboard for student responses, or the student may use a special light pencil to point to the television screen Finally, each terminal contains an audio play-record unit which can play prerecorded messages to the students or record the student's own answers for later analysis by the instructor.

home resources about our training contact ICTS ... enter training area To encourage familiarity, significant keys can be colour coded with removable stickers, different lines of keys can be colour coded, or the keys each finger is responsible for in touch-typing can be coloured the same. Pupils can get to know the keyboard by making a game of typing common words, rhyming words, or words that have their letters close together on the keyboard. There is now a range of keyboards and keyboard gloves available with either lower case stickers or high contrast keys for pupils with low vision. These are elaborated upon in Unit 7 - Accessing Technology Younger users will benefit from a keyboard awareness program that is linked to the learning of early literacy skills. In the days before computers we taught keyboard familiarity by putting a keyguard on an electric typewriter, a cardboard cover over that and then made a hole to expose each new letter as we needed to teach it to the pupil. Becky, aged six, now uses the computerized version of that old teaching tool. First Keys to Literacy puts an almost life-size keyboard on the screen and letters are introduced through a variety of activities that teach position, letter recognition, word building and spelling. Becky uses the keyboard to respond to the tasks set, but she could also use a mouse.

CTI Mathematics Workshop 03 Computer Packages for the teaching of Discrete Mathematics Report of a workshop held on Friday 15 June 1990 at the University of Birmingham There has been considerable interest in recent months in the development of material suitable for a course on Discrete Mathematics. Within Computer Science and Mathematics programmes Discrete Maths courses have evolved to contain the topics of formal logic, graph theory, number theory, and the algebra of linear equations. In this workshop the question addressed is whether the availability of a particular package might facilitate the introduction of some of these topics. 1. A Prolog Library for Combinatorics, Graph Theory and Number Theory Ron Knott, University of Surrey The need to find a notation with natural style, which expresses the way people think and write but which is also a computer language, can be met by the relational language Prolog. A computer keyboard does not contain signs for mathematical relationships, but suitable words are contained within Prolog to represent these relationships. The advantage of a relational language is that an unknown can be represented and interpreted within a relationship instead of being expressed in a functional form. The programs in the library can provide the user with explanations, counting, enumeration and generation of examples; for given example sets, theorems can be verified and conjectures generated. The fundamental maths section includes the theory of functions, sets and sequences, arithmetic and output formatting. Combinatorics can be unified; permutations, subsets and powersets are included, and interpretations calculated for partitioning, special numbers, binomial expansions etc.

KEYBOARD DEBATE DECEMBER 27, 1995 TRANSCRIPT Elizabeth Farnsworth gets two perspectives on technology in the classroom. Damon Moore is an eighth grade science teacher, who serves on a national commission promoting training teachers with technology. Clifford Stoll is an astronomer, and author of Silicon Snake Oil: Second Thoughts on the Information Highway. Stoll is skeptical of technology's promise. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Now, Thank you both for being with us. Clifford Stoll, you just heard that glowing report. What's wrong with it? CLIFFORD STOLL: (San Francisco) It'sthey're all over the place. There's this wonderful feeling that, wow, computers make learning fun, it's going to be wonderful out there, students have lots of information and boy, they're going to be really smart. But there's this wide gulf between information, which computers provide lots of, and knowledge, which computers provide none of. Moreover ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Wait, let me interrupt you a minutewhy can't they provide knowledge? Why is not reading and learning about say the Odyssey via computer as good as reading, reading it in a book? MR. STOLL: Because reading the original Odyssey means turning pages and reading it. Very few, if any, people read the Odyssey on a computer screen. You just can't read more than three or four pages. Yeah, you can turn it into a game. You can turn into a multimedia, gosh, wow, I'm going to go from here to there and have a lot of fun while prowling around on maps, but are you reading the text, or have you simply marginalized and pushed aside the reading and the thinking part and turned it into a game?

Interested in writing a story or nominating a friend? Yes Computers, Keyboarding, and First Grade Students A first grade teacher shares her successes using computers and educational software to teach keyboarding in her classroom. By Kathy Gathers live in a small town in Kansas and have taught first grade for 30 years. I have had a computer in my classroom for several years. My elementary school uses Macintosh computers. Each classroom has at least two computers. We also have a computer lab with 25 computers. My classroom has three iMacs and one Apple LCII for my students to use and I have one iMac for my own use. During reading groups, computers are used as part of my daily centers. The children have approximately 20 minutes to use a variety of software. Choices include Kid Pix Deluxe, Sammy's Science House, JumpStart First Grade, Thinkin' Things Collection 1, JumpStart Typing, Math Rabbit, Reader Rabbit 1 and Reader Rabbit 2, and several other programs. Occasionally I have a project for my students to complete but mostly they have free choice. Sometimes they practice what we have learned in the computer lab.

Reporter: Carlyn Morenus Technology has become, in a just a few years, a huge topic for those in the teaching profession. Electronic piano labs, of course, have been around for quite some time. The development of personal computers has brought with it an ever-increasing array of music programs. And the internet has created an explosion of information, recorded materials, software, learning and teaching options, and responsibilities that are new to our profession. Many different technological devices and strategies were discussed in the afternoon session centering on the question "What aspects of technology do you feel most compelled to include in your piano pedagogy program?" The discussions are summarized here. All discussion groups agreed on the need to incorporate a variety of technology-related topics in pedagogy classes. Pedagogy students should be cautioned, however, that technologies should be used as tools, not as ends in themselves. Technology does not replace the teacher, but it can enhance the teacher's work. It is important for teachers to recognize the vast and constantly-increasing offerings of technology, and to be receptive to new possibilities.

Suzanne took part in a pilot project to test the educational potential of datacasting, one of the capabilities of digital television which may soon be available to schools. Suzanne and her students used an "enhanced" program from the instructional television series Investigating Wisconsin History which included video, audio, text, graphics and student activities. Suzanne used a projector to show a large screen version of the entire program to the class, then divided them into groups to complete an activity by interacting with the program. "It really was exciting for us to see what the children were capable of doing" said Suzanne. Students used audio and video clips, maps, photographs, documents and graphs to construct their own understanding of agricultural history. They could use a timeline to access video segments, and control the clips while they discussed ideas or took notes. "This was something brand new and it was totally different" added Suzanne.

(Their names have been changed to protect their privacy.) For this trio, RSI symptoms began in their elementary typing classes. By the time they reached a required seventh grade keyboarding class their pains were getting worse. For Alice, ten minutes of warm-up practice on the keyboard would cause pain for up to three hours afterwards. One worried mother refused to sign the course disclosure agreement for keyboarding writing the following comment on the back of the form: "The reason this is late is because I have refused to sign it. It is no fault of Miguel. I am not signing away my right to hold the school responsible if he gets carpal tunnel." Public awareness and parental attitudes are changing when it comes to these long-term repetitive motion nerve disorders. Miguel's mother suffers with carpal tunnel syndrome. She has seen the early warning signs in her son and wants him to avoid long-term problems. She is not alone in her concern for her son's well being. There are hereditary predispositions to these debilitating repetitive motion disorders. Other afflicted parents have approached this Utah middle school's computer teacher pleading, "Please don't let my child go through the pains I've suffered."

Programs Courses Graduate Info Faculty and Staff ... Links In 1998-1999, a joint project between Marv Westrom and Adrianna Zylmans of the Department of Curriculum Studies and VTech Electronics Canada resulted in the development of the Keyboard Wizard 2.0, a device to teach typing to elementary school children VTech Electronics is an international company that makes a variety of electronic products, including educational games and learning tools. Many elementary schools have a computer laboratory equipped with a class-set of computers. A very common activity in such a lab is to learn typing or keyboarding. The Keyboard Wizard was developed to provide an alternate and less-expensive means of accomplishing the same task. Some teachers argue that the skill of typing is about to become useless; that in the near future we will be able to talk to our computers and just tell them what we want. We can already give some computers simple verbal commands and no doubt this function will improve. However such improvements will not make typing obsolete. Recognizing a word or phrase as an instruction is trivial compared to understanding what is being said. Those who need to communicate with computers in trivial ways may get by with spoken commands. But people who want to write essays, describe complex situations, or explain intricate procedures will be using a keyboard for many years to come.
