Teaching Machines May Speed Student Learning
Washington AP—A proposed teaching machine linked to a computer could vastly accelerate learning life. Prof Edwin McClintock of the University of Illinois describes a system that tailors instruction into tiny, graded steps, combining teaching machines, computers, and sensory feedback to free professors for individual student work. The device would monitor student progress via a lie-detector style sensor, offer guided prompts, and present material on screens while a professor’s voice or video guides the session.
