With more than $300,000 worth of equipment in their laboratories. WICAT personnel have developed education and training programs on a variety of subjects for use in homes schools, the military, business and industry. Dr. C. Victor Bunderson. an instructional scientist from Orem who is president of the institute, said one of WICAT's programs is titled. "Development of Living Things." It was developed for McGraw-Hi- ll Book Co. to teach college-levintroductory biology.

Others include a mathematics program produced for Milliken Publishing Co.. a Ford Motor Co. program for use by mechanics in diagnosing and fixing auto problems. English, reading and language programs for use in schools and homes, and flight simulation programs for use in training military pilots. Some of the programs have been so successful that the National Science Foundation has invited WICAT for two years in a row to conduct special seminars for educators, government officials and industry executives on the uses of computers in education. Proof that the institute is on the forefront of developments in the field of computer-assisteteaching is the fact that it has received research contracts from such organizations as the Army Communicative Technology Office, the Navy Personnel Research and Development Center, the U.S. Office of Education, the Heinrich Hertz Institute, the National Institute of Education, the National Science Book Co.. the Army Foundation. McGraw-Hi- ll Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences. Coitrol Data Corp.. the Milliken Communications Corp.. and others. "WICAT has assembled an elite group of scientiest and educators from throughout the nation to work on what we believe is a vital issue for education." Heuston said. "Education delivery systems are being d revolutionized, and we ai s proud that our institute is attracting national attention and recognition for being one of the world leaders in developing these svstems." dant ti aftr. an eataM tat tor kss xa cm?, k mmm tm mt v Dam Forms Lake sufacivi-swe- Health - A priceless for a!! ages gift ftt nraM ITi ftt Mm ktatilnsateau4fcral d WICAT Researchers aad computer engineers at the research laboratories of WICAT Incorporated in Orem is having 2 significant national impact on education WICAT is a independent research institute founded in 1976 by veteran educator Dr. Dustin H. Heuston to develop and implement programs for the use of computers in education and training The name WICAT stands for World Institute for Computer Assisted Teaching, and although still young, the institute has already received some S3 million in research grants from the government, private industry and foundations. Heuston. who serves as chairman, is a Stanford and New York University trained educator who has taught many years on the college level and more recently was headmaster of a private school in the East He says that through his teaching and administrative experiences, he became increasingly aware that education is not keeping pace with the demands placed on it due to the "knowlege explosion " "The last major revolution in education occurred 500 years ago when the printing press was invented." he says. ' Since then the fields of communications, transportation, agriculture, medicine, the military and other disciplines have made quantum leaps, thanks to science and modern technology, but education has remained largely untouched in comparison. After learning of studies which showed that the traditional classroom method of teaching provides only one to two minutes of individualized instruction for each student each day. Heuston decided to see if he could improve the delivery system through the application of computers. He is quick to point out that computers will never replace teachers, but they can handle some of the tedious and repetitious work which is required to train students in mathematics, grammar and other fields, thus freeing teachers to spend more personal time with students to solve individual problems. ' Unlike teachers, computer systems never tire of giving and correcting endless drill and practice problems." Heuston explained ' Even the teachers run out of patience if a student requires many trials on the same point." and has "The computer is totally infinite patience." he continued. "Students can work quietly at their own pace, repeating as many times as needed to grasp a concept without fear of being embarrassed in front of their classmates if they get a " problem wrong Heuston spent several years studying the latest developments in computer programs relating to education and finally was attracted to Utah because of pioneering work being done in the field by scientists at several of the universities in the state at six.
