What is Questor?

Questor was an experimental, computer-based education system developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s by Gordon Pask and his colleagues. It used conversational techniques and adaptive strategies to teach students about complex systems. The system aimed to facilitate a deeper understanding of the subject matter by tailoring the learning experience to the individual student's needs and progress. It involved interactive dialogues and simulations. It is no longer actively developed or widely used, but its concepts have influenced later developments in computer-aided instruction and adaptive learning systems.
