A Sample of Programmed Learning
George Van Lunen · Canadian Modern Language Review/ La Revue canadienne des langues vivantes · 1969
Programmed instruction is often called machine teaching. However, this term is misleading, because a programmed course may require the use of paper and pen only. The word programme in this context has a specal meaning. According to William A. Deterline "A program consists of a series of small units, called “frames”. Each frame is based on knowledge already possessed by the student, and each frame adds a very small increment to this knowledge, moving the student steadily toward the terminal behavior called “knowledge of the subject.”
