The Academy Season 1 Episode 2 Ready Made Programs 1983
0/10 by 0 users
In this episode, we touch on the issues of computer architecture and software compatibility, and how software is loaded into and saved from the computer. It also includes a panel discussion involving an instructional computing specialist, a (particularly interesting) editor-teacher-consultant, a lawyer, and an educator-consultant, and covering ready-made software, what makes a program good, how one might settle on a microcomputer, the balance between passive use of the computer as an appliance versus active/creative use through programming, the balance of 'serious' and entertaining uses of the computer (and the intersection of entertainment and education), and the role of local user groups.
