摘要： There is described a software training system including a computer, a cassette tape player system, and software for running the computer. This software includes the target program which the student is learning to use and courseware which defines a multiplicity of events which correspond to different portions of a predefined training lesson.The tape player system is attached by an interface to one of the computer's ports. The interface allows the computer to turn the tape player unit on and off, and also transmits keystroke data from the left track of a stereo cassette which is mounted in the tape player to the computer. Oral instructions or other sounds recorded on the right track of the stereo cassette are played over a speaker. The training system works by alternately turning on the tape to give the student oral instructions and to get keystroke from data from the tape, and then turning off the tape player while the student enters keystrokes, for use in the target software program, which follow the oral instructions previously given.The keystrokes entered by the student are compared with a filter specified by the currently active event in the courseware. If a correct entry is made, the tape player is turned back on and the lesson continues. Certain predefined keystrokes from the tape player cause a new event from the courseware to be selected and for the tape player to be turned off. Furthermore, if the student fails to make the correct keystrokes within a preselected time period the training system enters the correct answer for him and proceeds with the next portion of the training session.

摘要翻译： 描述了包括计算机，盒式磁带播放器系统和用于运行计算机的软件的软件训练系统。 该软件包括学生正在学习使用的目标程序和定义对应于预定训练课程的不同部分的多个事件的课件。 磁带机系统通过接口连接到计算机的一个端口。 该接口允许计算机打开和关闭磁带机单元，并且将来自安装在磁带机中的立体声盒的左轨道的击键数据传送到计算机。 记录在立体声盒的正确轨道上的口头说明或其他声音通过扬声器播放。 培训系统通过交替打开磁带，给学生口头说明，并从磁带上的数据中获取按键，然后在学生进入击键时关闭磁带机，用于目标软件程序中，后者是 以前给出的口头说明。 学生输入的按键与课件中当前活动的事件指定的过滤器进行比较。 如果进行了正确的输入，则磁带播放机被重新打开，课程继续。 来自磁带机的某些预定义的击键导致选择来自课件的新事件并关闭磁带机。 此外，如果学生未能在预先选定的时间段内进行正确的击键，训练系统将为他输入正确的答案，然后继续进行训练课程的下一部分。
