• Resumen

  • The basic training for apprentices in the Royal Navy requires that they do a TEC level I course in engineering drawing. Mixed ability instruction is used, but it has been found that those with no previous experience of the subject take up a disproportionately large amount of the instructor’ time. A system to drill these students with simple examples has been developed for a simple microcomputer (a 16K Sinclair ZX81), to investigate how effectively this load could be reduced for a small capital outlay. It was found that such a system, although limited in scope, could be of use in the classroom.
