The Graphics Terminal Display System; a Powerful General-Purpose CAI Package.

Hornbeck, Frederick W., Brock, Lynn

The Graphic Terminal Display System (GTDS) was created to support research and development in computer-assisted instruction (CAI). The system uses an IBM 360/50 computer and interfaces with a large-screen graphics display terminal, a random-access slide projector, and a speech synthesizer. An authoring language, GRAIL, was developed for CAI, and it is transportable to other computers. Comparisons are made between this system and others as PLATO, PLANIT, and TICCIT. (Author/CH)
