Abstract
The computer-rich environment that exists when every student has a computer provides a variety of new opportunities for instructional use of computers, including the use of microcomputer application programs. After arguing that computer programming has a limited role in instructional computing, described are the assumptions, development, & structure of a psychlogy course in which students make use of the microcomputer & its application programs as a tool in sofware design. However, programming is not required; rather, the personal computer & its application programs provide an environment in which the student has the freedom to develop software design & explore course content without being constrained by the mind-numbing minutiae involved in programming a rigid, inflexible tutee. 15 References.
