Abstract
Programmed learning systems have been of interest to educationalists for more than half a century. Since the late 1970s and particularly in the 1980s a great deal of attention has been given to computer assisted or computer-based education and training. However, it is curious to reflect that the majority of University courses, even in business and management schools are based on conventional, classroom-based methods. Many exciting and innovative alternatives have been developed but the diffusion of these ideas has been slow. Very often, great elegance in design and delivery is supported at enormous cost.
