Abstract: A learning system is disclosed which can provide individualized instruction for each student. The student brings to a terminal a film record, an audio record and a tape cassette. The tape cassette includes a magnetic tape on which directions, addresses and lesson subject matter have been digitally recorded and which is related to the film record and audio record. The records and cassette are inserted by the student into their respective slot in the terminal. The lesson material is then transferred from the tape to the storage associated with a computer. The student can present queries or responses to the system which, in turn, can present queries or responses to the student. In either case, a query or response is presented as a legible manifestation on a plasma panel, a selected image derived from the film record which is projected onto the plasma panel and in superimposed relation to any manifestation and/or an aural message derived from the audio record. The student can proceed with the lesson material at a rate determined by his learning ability. The queries and response presented as manifestations are recorded on the tape in conjunction with time designations for later evaluation by the teacher.
