Abstract

ABSTRACT PLATO III is a CAI system located at the Univ. of Illinois in Urbana which will soon be expanded into a network connecting schools and colleges throughout the state. The system exists currently as a research tool which is used by teachers of many different disciplines to experiment with the possibilities of CAI. For the past few years several Latin programs have been developed and tested: two for beginning Latin, one to check the student's surface comprehension of a literary text written in a foreign language, and one for Latin composition. All of the programs use a wide variety of teaching techniques in order to discover the best approach for learning via the computer. Students have so far reacted quite favorably, and there seem to be many learning advantages for them, chief among which is the personalized and individualized material which the machine provides. It appears that the impact of computer technology upon education will be far‐reaching and may cause us to modify some of the basic assumptions we have made about the teaching and learning processes.
