PLATO based lessons seem to have helped as an augment to normal style education.
I don't think revolutionize is particularly on the horizon, but "doesn't really work" really depends on what you're defining your success condition to be.
- eesmith 2y agoSure. Thing is, every one of those technologies I listed also "helped as an augment to normal style education." Including a copy of a book like "Introduction to Latin". I have to be hand-wavy because the full analysis has to include factors like the cost of licensing, the cost of hardware and maintenance, the time to integrate into the curriculum, how often the UI and content changes, and the loss of space for and access to other resources. Like, our local elementary school got rid of its staff librarian to have money for more student electronics, and now they are talking about bringing a librarian back. I've only ever seen PLATO-based systems used at the college level, which is where we also expect students to be more self-motivated. That would be another factor.
