This creative project consists of the construction of a poly-sensory, self-instructional system. The system includes two basic parts: 1) software, the basic instructional materials, and 2) the hardware, the console to replay the software.The software consists of four programmed slide-tape series and accompanying workbook. The first series deals with the concept of electrical measurement, describes the basic meter movement, and introduces the VOA. The remaining three series deal with the voltmeter, ohmmeter, and ammeter sections of the YO1, respectively.The hardware includes the console, and experimental electrical circuits. The unique aspect of the console is a photo-sensitive relay circuit which controls the cassette recorder. This circuit provides a programmed dimension allowing frequent stops in the presentation for questions, experiments and self-testing.
