Appended is the Author List from TLG-C CD-ROM sorted by date
as described in an earlier notice. It is based on the materials
supplied by William Johnson on behalf of IBYCUS Systems.
In a separate file I will send the same list with the dates
removed, for easy import to the IBYCUS list function.

Subject: TEI Report from Toronto

Herewith a general report from the editors on the Toronto meetings:


Text Encoding Initiative Progress Report

The Text Encoding Initiative of the ACH, ALLC and ACL has begun in
earnest the work sketched out for it. (Subscribers to this list will no
doubt have seen various reports announcing the inception of the project;
we won't repeat their content here.)

Subject: CAI/CALL failures

Those interested in CAI/CALL should have a look at the July 17 Business Week.
There is a three page (+/-) article called "Why computers flunk out." Some
of the points raised are the standard ones (e.g., teachers not trained in use)
but the problem of useable software, not page-turners, is hit upon with
full force. Maybe it will help some of the computer companies become
interested in developing some useful courseware.
Happy reading-
