More conventional video technology is already in wide use to carry instruction to students at separate geographical locations. At Harvard, the Medical School is connected by closed-circuit TV to our teaching hospitals, to the Science Center in Cambridge, to MIT and even to other, more distant institutions via satellite. Through these links, speeches and seminars at any of these institutions can be viewed by faculty and students in all the others. Elsewhere, universities have launched even more ambitious ventures. Stanford offers engineering courses by closed-circuit TV so that employees in high-tech companies throughout Silicon Valley can attend...
...classrooms to television screens so that students could listen to a professor and immediately test their comprehension of the material by working through a series of questions and problems presented by an appropriate computer program.

For example, are history majors could use a videodisc linked with a computer to explore the great museums they chose for as long as they wished, and summon up text...
