ABSTRACT
During the summer of 1963, the Computer Center of the University of California at Davis produced a televised course in FORTRAN IV programming. The series was recorded on videotape and has been used for all FORTRAN instruction taking place on campus. Preliminary evaluation of the level of attainment of students viewing the lectures indicates that the videotaped series is effective in training programmers. Since programming instruction seems well suited to the television medium, the production of additional courses should be undertaken.
