Computers in the Curriculum Project

Spanning two decades, the Computers in the Curriculum Project was funded by the Schools Council and subsequently by the Microelectronics Education Programme, MESU, the BBC, NCET and a range of industrial partners. In earlier days materials were published on paper tape and documentation published by Edward Arnold. In the '80s, Longman published most of the materials on audio cassette and floppy disc in bright orange packs. Bob Lewis directed the project until 1981, when Margaret Cox took over. A large project with a big team of paid developers and a nation-wide spread, it nevertheless began all its inventive work with volunteer teachers and linked to other curriculum development projects such as Nuffield Science to gain strength from the creativity and change as new ways to approach subjects were proposed.
