The algorithm: as a tool of training

The algorithm is a modern programming technique for explaining complex procedures and complex decision‐making tasks such as fault diagnosis. It is a tool of great but, as yet, largely‐undiscovered potential. It has great possibilities in the clerical field and already has wide application in the field of complex maintenance procedures of all sorts. The algorithm has a very special niche in the technology of training: it can communicate certain procedural and diagnostic skills where other communication media fail.
