Abstract: An automated education system has been designed which enables each student in the class to enjoy individualized (tutored) instruction through the use of a computer. The system features central curriculum control with decentralized automatic operation. A simple large-scale centralized processor services communications switching processors at each of four schools. These handle a total of 32 student terminals containing TV displays and keyboards. When teachers request the central complex to provide certain curricula for specific students, such lessons are automatically transmitted to the individual school; when the student arrives at the terminal, he uses the keyboard to enter the code number specifically assigned to him. The processor recognizes the information and displays the lesson segments. As the student responds, program control determines the correctness of his response, records the operation and, if desired, provides reinforcing or correcting information. The processor maintains a record of the student's progress, permitting proper sequencing of material for each student for instructions on the following days.
