Now that programed instruction has emerged from the laboratories of experimental psychologists and become a bona fide teaching aid, thought is being given to the expansion and utilization of the media by which programs are presented. Probably the most far-reaching and spectacular of these ideas is the use of digital computers as teaching machines. It has been repeatedly stated that it is the program inside the teaching machine and not the machine itself that actually does the teaching. Research seems to indicate that students perform just as well using programed texts as they do using conventional teaching machines (Goldstein and Gotkin, 1962). Nevertheless, the versatility of computers opens a virtually unlimited area of research on learning as well as the potential of programing for individual differences. Do the attributes of the digital computer lend themselves to effective learning? Can the variables that are known to affect the learning process be incorporated and manipulated in computer-based instruction? These questions must be answered in order to justify any great expense of time and money for research in this area
