A Review of "Computers as Tutors: Solving the Crisis in Education."

Sherman, Greg

Education Policy Analysis Archives, v4 n16 p1-5 Oct 1996

This book argues that computers can revolutionize American education and resolve its problems if they are used as private tutors to provide effective, individualized instruction, especially in developing literacy. The book, located at a Web site, is characterized as unwieldy to read right from the computer. (SLD)
