CAI Author Language and Preprocessor for DEC PDP-10

GNOSIS provides a CAI authoring language which makes it relatively  easy  for any teacher with a basic understanding  of "programmed" textbooks to develop computerized  tutorials  for his students.  Although material already written in such  a format can be transformed virtually as-is by GNOSIS into a  form  suitablefor  computer  delivery,  the  teacher would     normally be writing his own "script." This  script,  because  it simulates the dialogue one might overhear if that teacher  were tutoring a student in private, can be made to "come  to  life" on a computer terminal by the addition of a few simple  GNOSIS command words.  The computer driven tutorial  is,  in  reality,  a  compiled  version of the ALGOL program GNOSIS  writes in response to the script prepared  by  the  teacher.  In fact, GNOSIS has been designed in such a way that the ANY  of the facilities of ALGOL can be exploited anywhere in  the  lesson.
