Evaluated is the present state of development of microcomputer and videodisc technologies as they relate to education. Factors which inhibit the entry of these technologies into education are identified, and include teacher preparation, availability of courseware, and cost. Areas are identified and strategies suggested in which federal and private agencies can have a positive impact in the development and implementation of these technologies. Appendices include a list of individuals and groups contacted for information on technological development, references, and the author's relevant experience. (Author/CMV)
