This is the first paper to discuss the Geromat III teaching machine developed at the Berlin Institute for Cybernetics in relationship to the Geromat III prototypes developed at Ulm School of Design in the 1960s. The Geromat III was an electro-mechanical teaching machine that could train up to three students at three separate multimedia consoles. The system required all learners to answer correctly in order to progress through the instructional program; if not, the students were required to speak to each other in order to reach agreement. The paper analyzes archival material and first-hand accounts with the Geromat III, as well as the social context of federal funding for research into computing and education in West Germany of the 1960s, in order to understand how this teaching machine, an early form of computer-aided instruction (CAI), came to be. The Geromat III, though utilized on a small scale, found an audience of enthusiastic supporters on the other side of the country, with artist-designers at the Ulm School of Design who created prototypes for consoles to be used with the system. While hands-on knowledge about the system was unavailable to the console designers, an ideological affinity between the Ulm School of Design and the Berlin Institute for Cybernetics bridged any technical gaps in knowledge; the resulting design prototypes, one for mass-production and one for DIY (do-it-yourself) construction, point to speculative futures for the system.

专为危机而设计的三人教学机器:柏林和乌尔姆的 Geromat III

这是第一篇讨论柏林控制论研究所开发的 Geromat III 教学机器与 1960 年代乌尔姆设计学院开发的 Geromat III 原型的关系的论文。Geromat III 是一种机电教学机器,最多可以在三个独立的多媒体控制台上培训三名学生。该系统要求所有学习者正确回答,以便在教学计划中取得进展;如果没有,学生们必须互相交谈以达成一致。本文分析了档案材料和 Geromat III 的第一手资料,以及 1960 年代西德计算和教育研究联邦资助的社会背景,以了解这种教学机器是如何作为早期形式的计算机辅助教学(CAI)应运而生。Geromat III 虽然使用规模较小,但在该国的另一端找到了一群热情的支持者,乌尔姆设计学院的艺术家设计师为与该系统一起使用的控制台创建了原型。虽然控制台设计人员无法获得有关该系统的实践知识,但乌尔姆设计学院和柏林控制论研究所之间的意识形态亲和力弥合了知识方面的任何技术差距;由此产生的设计原型,一个用于批量生产,一个用于 DIY(自己动手)建造,指向该系统的投机性未来。虽然控制台设计人员无法获得有关该系统的实践知识,但乌尔姆设计学院和柏林控制论研究所之间的意识形态亲和力弥合了知识方面的任何技术差距;由此产生的设计原型,一个用于批量生产,一个用于 DIY(自己动手)建造,指向该系统的投机性未来。虽然控制台设计人员无法获得有关该系统的实践知识,但乌尔姆设计学院和柏林控制论研究所之间的意识形态亲和力弥合了知识方面的任何技术差距;由此产生的设计原型,一个用于批量生产,一个用于 DIY(自己动手)建造,指向该系统的投机性未来。
