Abstract
This report outlines the research and development
of a CMl system designed to be used in the remediation
program for developmentally delayed adults attending the
Medicine Hat College. The literature search covers a
brief history of computers, discusses a definition of
CMl and reports findings of CMl instituted elsewhere.
Procedures include the actual design and construction of
a data base and the subsequent comparison of the manual
and electronic systems. The results indicate that the
electronic system is more efficient than the manual
system, but that there are still elements of the manual
system that must be maintained. Although this
particular electronic system does not have the
relational or sorting power of some commercial systems,
there still appears to be a desire to further modify the
system and to integrate the system more closely into the
program. Instructors were very impressed with the ease
in which reports and IEPs could now be generated. The
system also has potential to be incorporated with
further developments of CAL and CBT.
