Discussed topics include: the uses, levels, and need for CMI; the relationship between CMI and technology; CMI and adaptive or individualized instruction; and operational aspects of CMI. Science and nonscience uses of CMI systems are documented; and some projections for developing CMI in an academic environment are discussed.
