As far as Computers In Biological Education (CIBE) is concerned, the difference between the 1981 and 1982 NABT meetings was like night and day, and the 1983 convention in Philadelphia should be even more exciting. In 1981 only one major lecture concerned computers and there were no workshops or exhibitors on CIBE. The 1982 meeting in Detroit saw ten CIBE workshops, many CIBE reports, and exhibitors offering hardware or software. More important, NABT attendees showed an insatiable desire for information about CIBE. Let me highlight some of the events and impressions that struck me during the 1982 meeting. Space does not permit me to discuss them all. Bioeducators are using computers to do what would otherwise be difficult to do. Often computers can be integrated into the established pedagogy as opposed to requiring a total revision. For example, Gerald Summers and Wemara Lichty discussed TESTOR, a program developed under a CAUSE grant to help evaluate mastery learning strategies on aspects of a laboratory session. The computer generates tests in the lab, a different one for each student. The test is them completed by the student, scored, and returned to the student. An important result is that the student knows what aspects of the laboratory he missed while still in the laboratory. Theodore J. Crovello is Professor and Chairman of the Biology Department at The University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana 46556. After graduating from the State University College of Forestry at Syracuse, New York, he received his Ph.D. in Botany at The University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Crovello has long-term interests in the way plants satisfy people's physical and non-physical needs, in the geography of plants, and in the use of computers in biology.
