By the mid‐1970s, the U.S. National Science Foundation was funding two large projects, PLATO and TICCIT, designed to demonstrate the efficacy of teaching with the help of computers. Although neither project proved successful, they nevertheless propelled teaching with computers to a level that laid the foundation for most later efforts. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
