The Use of Motion Pictures for Automated Instruction

Leo E. Persselin

The technology of teaching machines and programed learning refers not so much to special kinds of hardware as to how hardware can be put to use. This is clearly reflected in the way today's proliferation of teaching-machine hardware shows an increasing emphasis on use of the motion picture. Devices commercially available and under development utilize as many as four motion-picture projectors in synchronous operation. This emphasis strongly suggests that the creative motion-picture engineer stands in the same relationship to the field of automated instruction as he does to other major areas of applied motion-picture technology.
