Status: Partially Found (5/440)

Edutronics Systems International Inc. was an audio/visual edutainment provider that produced films on computer programming from 1969 to 1983, totaling 440 films. It would sell its films to colleges and business for employee and student training.^[1] Alongside the films- books and lesson workbooks would be available as supplementary material. The company's assets would be purchased by McGraw-Hill Inc. in May of 1978.^[2]

Most of the 440 films are grouped into series as part of a lecture, with each film running around 4-20 minutes. They would be produced on 16mm film. The lectures themselves delved into coding concepts, management, data analysis, System/360, O/VS, and other hardware.^[3] Edutronics' trademarked film style, ACE, standing for Animated Computer Education, was used throughout their programs to simplify computer concepts to make them easy to grasp, claiming it to be a "Super Teacher"^[4] This consisted of visual animated diagrams using cell animation, back lighting, character cutouts, and storylines.^[5]

Every film can be found as a copyright record on the US old copyright catalogue or the digital one.

Availability

Periscope Film would manage to find the first and second ever film for the company, while Technology Connections would post the later 1975 film to their second channel as part of their film camera restrospective.^[6] Marcel Van Grinsven and E.M. Mihal would also upload individual films.

Another film known to exist out in the wild is Direct Access Chaining & Bucket Indexing. Lesson 534 (March 15, 1969), as it was sold on eBay at an unknown time.
