Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) uses computers to present instructional material and monitor learning. CAI includes computer-based instruction, web-based instruction, and other terms. CAI can be delivered through drill-and-practice, tutorials, simulations, games, discovery, and problem solving. CAI offers benefits like one-on-one learning, self-pacing, and immediate feedback but also limitations such as a lack of personal interaction and equipment issues.

- 2. Computer Assisted Instruction Referred to as CAI Term often used interchangeably with Computer-Based Instruction (CBI), Web Based Instruction (WBI), Computer-Assisted Learning (CAL), Computer-Enriched Instruction (CEI), and Web Based Training (WBT)
- 3. Computer Assisted Instruction Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) is an interactive instructional technique whereby a computer is used to present the instructional material and monitor the learning that takes place.
- 4. Methods of Delivery Drill-and-Practice Tutorial Simulation Activities Games Discovery Problem Solving
- 5. Drill-and-Practice Opportunity for the learner to practice material an unlimited number of times Material being practiced often presented before the training session Best method for material that requires repeated practice to master (ex: multiplication tables)
- 6. Tutorial Combines presentation of material with drill- and-practice, games, or a simulation to emphasize material and assist in learning Most popular method of Computer Assisted Instruction
- 7. Games Games use the instructional material to create a contest for the learner The learner can compete against his own personal best, the computer, or other learners while mastering the material
- 8. Simulation Provides a real-life scenario with the material to be learned being applied as it would in the real world Simulation provides safety of learning environment
- 9. Discovery Provides the learner with an opportunity to draw his own conclusions Presents learner with a wealth of material on a topic and allows the learner to seek answers on his own
- 10. Problem Solving Problem solving presents material in such a way as to develop problem solving rationale Mainly used in children to develop problem solving skills
- 11. Pros of Computer Assisted Instruction One-on-one interaction Freedom to experiment with learning options Immediate Feedback Self-pacing Privacy for shy/slow learners Learners have been found to learn more and more rapidly Multimedia provides a variety of formats to present difficult material Self-directed learning allows learners to decide when, where and what to learn
- 12. Cons of Computer Assisted Instruction Learner may feel overwhelmed at the volume of material presented Overuse of multimedia can detract from intended learning objectives Inability to ask a “person” a question when material is not understood Equipment can malfunction Lack of good CAI packages or lack of infrastructure to deliver CAI
