| Abstract: Teaching the effective display of data in the form of graphs is complex. This presentation includes the experimental comparison of several methods of WEB-site tutorial delivery of instruction about appropriate dimensions of graphs. It is not about using computer graphic programs, it is about what they are used to do. It evaluates the benefits-- weighed against the costs--of delivering via programmed instruction rather than "passive" WEB pages. |

| Developing an ABA Program Using Existing Resources |
| Domain: Applied Research |

| Abstract: In 1998, an undergraduate ABA program was developed in the Department of Psychology at CSU, Fresno with little cost and no new faculty. An ABA intervention model was used to accomplish this task: data were collected on the need for trained behavior analysts in the area; a program that met BACB requirements, used only one new course, and took department strengths and needs into consideration was proposed; faculty were shown how the new program would benefit their work. The program used the community placements for practica. Currently, the program has over 100 students and a new MA track. |
