Abstract: An effective generative computer-assisted instructional system designed to teach basic machine language computer programing is now available. The system--known as Machine Language Teacher (MALT)--is implemented on an IBM 360 with numerous 2741 remote terminals giving student access. It teaches the machine language of the Simulated Educational Computer (SEDCOM), a hypothetical 377 (octal) word computer. SEDCOM is a small but powerful enough to provide an excellent introduction to machine language programing. The system, which is truly generative in that it creates and solves problems tailored to individual student needs, consists of four major components: a problem generator, a control unit, concept routines, and a SEDCOM simulator. Operationally, it proceeds by first acquiring student records and determining the amount of instruction needed. It then generates a sample programing problem and helps the student design a solution by dealing with sub-tasks. Concept routine guide the student through each sub-task and feedback continuously monitors progress. (PB)
