Computer History 1966: This rare film shows “SOCRATES," a Computer Assisted Instruction system developed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. “SOCRATES” stood for “System for Organizing Content to Review And Teach Educational Subjects.” The SOCRATES system included specialized student terminals connected to a central IBM computer, which provided highly adaptive individualized instruction to several students simultaneously. One of the first computer aided learning systems at a university campus. Followed by the PLATO system, and others.
