Abstract
This paper provides a guide for the development of educational computer programs for use on microcomputers. Conversion of existing timesharing software is discouraged as being an inadequate use of the microcomputer. At the same time developers are cautioned not to convert lessons to the microcomputer which might better be presented in another form. Making use of the features of microcomputers, including visual, audio and tactile techniques, is encouraged. Several suggestions are given for formatting material on the screen. A variety of programming techniques are listed and hints for carefully testing software are offered.
