AB - Individualized Instruction and the Computer: Potential for Mass Education 1 ROBERT T. FILEP A recent technological innovation, computer-aided instruction, may soon be a major vehide for offering individualized learning to large segments of our population. Simultaneously, the com- puter can analyze and adapt teaching sequences to the learning abilities of each person, thus insuring true compatibility of indi- vidual and education. Because there is art inescapable demand for the student to respond actively to the instructional device, this innovation can provide a much broader learning experience than other mass communications instructional media--such as tele- vision, motion pictures, and radio--which elicit more passive be- haviors. MarshaU McLuhan (25) has captured wide attention with his suggestion that our electronic-age media provide far dif- ferent learning events than those that occur when we read a book. Certainly, computer-aided teaching will further increase the mag- nitude of these electronic media experiences and establish a unique domain of its own. Currently, prototype models of computer-based teaching ter- minals offer instruction via cathode-ray tubes, teletypewriters, I This paper was presented at the American Psychological Association Symposium, "Mass Education: Problems and Progress," September 4, ~966, New York City.
