	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Plato and Platonism
		Plato (Platon, "the broad shouldered") was born at Athens in 428 or 427 B.C. He came of an aristocratic and wealthy family, although some writers represented him as having felt the stress of poverty.
		For, while Plato elaborated to a high degree the faculty by which the abstract is understood and presented, he was Greek enough to follow the artistic instinct in teaching by means of a clear-cut concrete type of philosophical excellence.
		Plato's School, like Aristotle's, was organized by Plato himself and handed over at the time of his death to his nephew Speusippus, the first scholarch, or ruler of the school.

	The Philosophy of Plato - Page 1
		Plato (picture) was born in Athens in the year 428 or 427 B.C.E. He was of a noble family and was related through his father to Codrus and on his mother's side to Solon.
		Plato was liberated, probably through the intercession of Archytas of Tarentum, general, scientist, and Pythagorean philosopher.
		Plato was induced to admit the existence of this world of Ideas from a parallelism which he noted between intellective and sensitive cognition.

		As a proud Fighting Illini who was an undergrad when PLATO courseware was being developed, but safely on the liberal arts side of Green Street and away from the Engineering campus, I am pleased to have been somewhat present at the creation.
		PLATO courseware was also being delivered in Control Data's Control Data Institutes (CDI), a group of private proprietary vocational schools across the country.
		Many of the contracts were performance contracts, where PLATO had to meet performance goals to earn payment — a risky business but one in which we were very successful because our courseware was effective and our people were great, a formula that continues to this day.

	Plato Rising
		PLATO was developed in 1962 at the University of Illinois.
		PLATO began as an educational system, and, indeed, as an experiment to determine how computer-based education could be most effectively explored.
		PLATO is the epitome of individualized education -- it's like having a powerful and extremely patient teacher who's been assigned to work with you on an individual basis.

	PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operations)
		PLATO was designed to use a mainframe-based system rather than a smaller minicomputer because of greater program and storage capability.
		PLATO remained a small communications system during the 1960's supporting only a single classroom of terminals.
		The original PLATO system continued to grow throughout the 1970s and early 1980s from a classroom of about 20 students to over a thousand terminals throughout the country (Alessi and Trollip, 1985).

		In 1960, an early CAI system, the PLATO system was initiated at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and later developed by Control Data Cooperation.
		The goal of this computer-based learning system was automating individual instruction, and over the seven-year developmental stage, the utility and feasibility of the computer-based teaching system was examined.
		The PLATO also introduced a communication system between students that was a forerunner of modern electronic mail (messages electronically passed from computer to computer).

	PLATO: The Emergence of On-Line Community
		Although PLATO had been evolving for over a decade by this time, to the new flood of users coming on-line, PLATO without Notes was hard to imagine.
		The person being monitored was free to move about the system normally, editing files, running programs, etc. This was extremely useful for remote consulting: someone who needed help could literally show an on-line consultant what they were trying to do while maintaining a conversation at the bottom of the screen.
		Nobody on PLATO had ever experienced an on-line community before, so there was a lot of fumbling in the dark as social norms were established.

		This page is part of the "e-mail archives" section of a site, Plato and his dialogues, dedicated to developing a new interpretation of Plato's dialogues.
		But I also disagree that Plato "never speaks in those dialogues." I think that only Plato speaks in those dialogues, though it is very difficult to determine what he is saying or why he says it the way he does.

	Virtual Communities from PLATO to Tomorrow
		PLATO was a computer-based education system developed back in the days when you'd have to mortgage your house just to pay the electric bill to run a computer.
		The system knew what lessons were assigned, what the student had completed, what they should work on next, and it kept records of each student's progress.
		The PLATO terminals at the college, located in rural Zululand, were connected to a mainframe computer in Johannesburg 200 miles away.

		It is usually caused by one PLATO Pathways system having been copied (ghosted, imaged) from another one.
		If you are running PLATO Pathways 4.2 or later, you can verify this by going to the signon screen at both systems and comparing the system ID that appears below the user name field.
		To correct this, on each system that has the same system ID as the first, go to the \PWAY folder and remove the read-only attribute from the WCMISYS.INI file.

		The PLATO system, originally developed at the University of Illinois, evolved from a relatively modest computer-based education (CBE) project in the 1960s into a wildly ambitious and remarkable system in the 1970s and 80s with thousands of multimedia, touch-sensitive high-resolution graphics terminals connected to a worldwide timesharing network of CYBER mainframes.
		While PLATO's core mission over the decades remained education, the significance of how the system broke new ground in facilitating human interaction has gone largely unstudied and unnoticed for 30 years.
		PLATO of the 1970s was home to numerous compelling early examples of future "killer apps." Based on extensive research, including over 600 interviews, this presentation will explore this lesser-known but enormously significant dimension of the PLATO system.
