Although computers can be a terrific resource for all children, gifted children particularly benefit from the individualization provided by-different computer applications. For the gifted child who finishes written class exercises quickly, computer programs may extend subject matter. From my observations, however, teachers use computers primarily for drill and practice exercises and word processing.

This chapter deals with patentable subject matter and the ways in which it is regulated under the Patents Act 1977 and the 2000 European Patents Convention (EPC). More specifically, it discusses five criteria that an invention must satisfy to be patentable, including the requirement that it must be capable of ‘industrial application’, and that patents are not granted for immoral inventions. The chapter also considers two different approaches that are used when deciding whether an invention falls within the scope of section 1(2)/Article 52(2): the ‘technical effect’ approach in the UK and the ‘any hardware’ approach applied by the European Patent Office. Finally, it examines how the law deals with a number of specific types of invention and looks at possible reforms, particularly in relation to computer programs and computer-related inventions.

This article examines the importance of subject matter instructional expertise in the design of research studies on computer-based instruction. It considers the implications of shifts in instructional focus from associationism toward cognitivism and points out how difficult it is for most researchers to be experts in both computer-based instructional design and subject matter content instruction. The article suggests that researchers need to work closely with subject matter instructional experts and need to document in their presentations and research articles that they recognized and addressed the importance of subject matter instructional expertise.

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.
