UNL professors developing
new disc-computer system
By Chris Welsch
Three UNL professors are developing
an instructional system unlike any created
before.
The system would combine a laser
disc player with a microcomputer. The
system would be the ultimate in inter
active education, William Leonard,
associate professor in the School of Life
Sciences, said.
Leonard is also the school's instruc
tional coordinator.
The Nebraska ETV Network created
the hardware necessary to link the laser
disc player and the computer and has
patented the process, Leonard said.
Robert Fuller and David Brooks are
the other two professors involved in the
project. The project is funded by a
$300,000 grant from the National Science
Foundation.
Fuller is a professor in the physics de
partment and director of the ADAPT
program. Brooks is a chemistry professor
and an instructional coordinator for the
chemistry department.
- Leonard said he is concerned that
lecture alone isn't always sufficient for
teaching.
"I would like to use a joystick so the
student can draw graphs on the computer
screen," he said.
The system will be in the Life Sciences
Resource Room in Manter Hall 118.
Leonard said the Resources Room is
an alternative to lecture.
The room has a wide variety of science
information. Inidividual students or classes
can use the room's two Apple II computers
and several video players and slide pro
jectors. Continued on Page 6
