Enciclomedia: Education Automation

Buckminster Fuller’s vision of education automation is now becoming closer to a prevalent reality with Enciclomedia. Mexico is going full steam ahead with a program to implement a large touchscreen with multimedia presentations that replace teachers standing at the head of the class lecturing. So far the results are promising. Students are very receptive and are interested in classroom learning with the new system. Parents are praising the system because they are seeing positive changes in the attitudes of their children toward learning. Could this be a new era for mass learning in public education?
