Abstract
The design, implementation, and evaluation of complex technological systems in education have been the subject of some interest for a number of years but, unfortunately, have not been the focus of extensive and thorough research. This article attempts to investigate certain personal and psychological parameters which should be considered in the design of systems of computer managed instruction. Included is an overview of the Wisconsin System for Instructional Management, the basic design of the study, and a summary of the findings. The conclusions support the need for research in the area of educational technology, as well as the attention which ought to be given certain human factors in the design of complex systems.
