Summary:It is believed that in some American schools, a teacher, on average, is able to devote less than seven seconds per week to each child individually. The programme explores how new multi-media computers are being used to allow groups of children to learn interactively at their own pace, with teacher's in a support role as managers of understanding. Visits several schools where computers have replaced the blackboard, meets some pioneers of this revolution, and investigates the hopes of those who believe multi-media technology is set to change the way we learn.
