Over the years the BBC has produced numerous TV series to help people better understand and use information technology. This Computer Literacy Project (CLP) Archive contains hundreds of programmes and thousands clips from these series along with many other programmes related to computing. It also allows you to run over 150 BBC Micro software programs - written to accompany the TV programmes - in your browser. For those of you who don't know what the BBC Micro is, it was a computer released in 1981, which focused on education software. The material in this archive is searchable by keyword or theme. Who is this for? We hope that this archive is of interest to people who remember the CLP programmes, had a BBC Micro, are interested in the history of technology, or simply wish to experience a bit of 80’s nostalgia. Much of the material on the principles of computing remain valid today and are likely to be useful for teaching purposes. ... more on link Computer Literacy Project 1980-1989 Quote In the 1980s, the BBC explored the world of computing in The Computer Literacy Project.
