An interview with David Merrill, of Courseware Inc., opens the programme. He explains
what he sees as the future role of computer- assisted instruction (CAI) in education.
Interview with Patrick Suppes of Computer Curriculum Corps who stresses the benefits
of the individualised instruction provided by educational computers. Shots of schoolchildren
working at computer terminals, over which Aldwyn Cooper explains that the programme
will consider current and future developments for CAI at all educational levels. Shots
of children using terminals at a Californian elementary school. Interview with Bob
Bird, headmaster at the school, who describes the effects of the computer on the role
of the teacher. Interview with Greg Smith of Apple Computers who explains that CAI
is even more useful in higher education. In interview Al Bork of the University of
California describes the use of instructional computers in physics courses at the
university. Brief shots of the Lawrence Hall of Science in California, then an interview
with Director of Computing Arthur Leurhmann. He explains that most schools are slow
to make full use of computers. Shots of a large office block, over which Cooper describes
some recent attempts to market CAI systems in schools. In interview Merrill explains
why large systems like TICCIT and PLATO have failed. Suppes describes the kind of
combined hardware and software packages now being offered to schools. Merrill explains
the advantages of micro-computers. Over a demonstration of a music lesson on a computer
terminal, Cooper briefly describes the lengthy process involved in the production
of interactive teaching packages. Interviews with Bernie Fradkin, Director of the
Media Centre at Evergreen Valley College, and with Merrill to explain who will produce
such packages in future. Suppes and then Merril describe their involvement in the
preparation of teaching material. Shots of students working at computer terminals,
then Smith describes the advantages of linking local micro-computers to a large computer.
Suppes and Bork describe future developments in educational computers, such as the
introduction of audio and links with video-discs. Further shots of students operating
terminals. Merrill gives his views on machines with artificial intelligence. The programme
ends with Suppes and Bork outlining their vision of long-term future developments
in educational computers. |

Description |
This film was shot in California, and examines the implications of the development,
of the silicon chip for the educational systems, not just of the USA, but for the
industrialised nations in general. Aldwyn Cooper, the overall author of Block VI of
the E200 Course, discusses with a number of American academics, including some who
have moved from formal education to consultancy and commercial positions in the world
of microprocessors, how these new developments could revolutionise our work, play,
living and learning techniques. |
