An improved computer based education system maintains rapid response to user input without limits to the number of stations. The system incorporates a dedicated processor at each user station so that the user station receives executable code as opposed to a display map. To support plural users a cluster subsystem is provided interconnected to the user stations via a high speed bidirectional communication subsystem. The cluster also includes a mass storage device, a high speed buffer, communications interface and at least one processor for serving user requests.
