Teaching machines were originally mechanical devices that presented educational materials and taught students. They were first invented by Sidney L. Pressey in the mid-1920s. His machine originally administered multiple-choice questions. The machine could be set so it moved on only when the student got the right answer. Tests showed that learning had taken place. This was an example of how knowledge of results causes learning. Much later, Norman Crowder developed the Pressey idea further.

B. F. Skinner was responsible for a different type of machine called GLIDER, which used his ideas on how learning should be directed with positive reinforcement. Skinner advocated the use of teaching machines for a broad range of students (e.g., preschool aged to adult) and instructional purposes (e.g., reading and music). The instructional potential of the teaching machine stemmed from several factors: it provided automatic, immediate and regular reinforcement without the use of aversive control; the material presented was coherent, yet varied and novel; the pace of learning could be adjusted to suit the individual. As a result, students were interested, attentive, and learned efficiently by producing the desired behavior, "learning by doing".

There is extensive experience that both methods worked well, and so did programmed learning in other forms, such as books.The ideas of teaching machines and programmed learning provided the basis for later ideas such as open learning and computer-assisted instruction.

Illustrations of early teaching machines can be found in the 1960 sourcebook, Teaching Machines and Programmed Learning. An "Autotutor" was demonstrated at the 1964 World's Fair.

The Suicide Prevention Action Network USA (SPAN USA) was a 501(c)(3) organization that was founded in 1996 by Gerald and Elsie Weyrauch, whose 34-year-old daughter, Terri, died by suicide. SPAN USA was "dedicated to preventing suicide through public education and awareness, community action and federal, state and local grassroots advocacy."

SPAN's theme was "Opening Minds. Changing Policy. Saving Lives."

SPAN USA was the nation's only suicide prevention organization dedicated to leveraging grassroots support among suicide survivors (those who have lost a loved one to suicide) and others to advance public policies that help prevent suicide. The organization was created to raise awareness, build political will, and call for action with regard to creating, advancing, implementing and evaluating a national strategy to address suicide in the United States. Since the organization was founded, grassroots volunteers and staff have worked in communities, state capitols and in Washington, DC, to advance its public policy response to the problem of suicide in America.

In 2009, SPAN merged with American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to create a public policy program.
