Baltimore Brings in PLATO to Fight Illiteracy.

Judge, John F.

VocEd, v53 n8 p60-63 Nov 1978

The Baltimore Learning Center is designed to provide functionally illiterate adults with the basic skills they need to compete for jobs. The Center's success is largely due to PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automated Teaching Operations), a computer-aided instruction system that lets the student work at his own pace. (MF)
