GNOSIS is a system which makes it very simple for a teacher to produce a computerized lesson. The teacher compiles a lesson containing texts and questions and expected answers to the questions. The teacher can check the student results and adjust the lesson according to the student's achievements, e.g., by prescribing remedial sections for students with difficulties. The teacher can also react in special ways to different expected and unexpected false answers to questions, e.g., by appropriate hints followed by a repetition of the wrongly answered question. Unexpected false answers are saved when a student takes a lesson, and later sent to the teacher to help him improve the lesson. GNOSIS is written in ALGOL for the DEC-system 10 computer, but is probably not too difficult to transfer to another computer which has an ALGOL or preferably a SIMULA compiler.
