| Abstract: In his 1968 book, The Technology of Teaching, B.F. Skinner suggested having teaching machines help education become more efficient. In Skinner's day, microcomputers and the internet did not exist. Today the machine that Skinner lacked is here. This paper will demonstrate a software program designed to run content from a database and collect user data to implement the kind of instructional programming and revision that Skinner envisioned. |
