[Automated training system used for a course on eye diseases at a medical institute]

The authors have developed this system (AIS), realized via CM 1420 mini-computer for many-terminal regime. The program provides operation in both the instruction and control modes; the control is realized via a display, that permits individual dialogues of students with the computer. The dialogue involves 12-16 questions in the curriculum. The answers are estimated and remembered by the computer. When the operation in the control mode is over, a register with students' marks is printed out. Therefore, the suggested AIS promotes autotraining of the students in this course and rules out the subjective aspects in assessment of students' knowledge.
