Abstract	This field test report was completed for a producer of an educational computer software program. The program, designed to help students learn about Canadian history, is outlined. The program simulates the events and atmosphere of the years 1864-1873, formative years in Canada's history; the student user is cast in the role of a journalist on the staff of a newspaper. As the student covers various news stories of the period, decisions concerning day-to-day life, as well as the larger social, economic, and political issues of nation-building are faced. This report discusses various aspects of the software field tests in two eighth grade classrooms (36 students) including descriptions of: the software, field test sites, the sample, procedure, findings, discussions of revisions, and retesting. Both teachers and students were impressed by the program, and students benefitted from using it. Three appendices contain: teacher materials, observer materials, and excerpts from transcribed tapes.
