This document discusses computer-assisted instruction (CAI), which uses computers to aid in education. It defines several related terms like computer-assisted learning and web-based training. CAI technologies include hardware, software, and courseware. Types of CAI are listed as drill and practice, tutorials, educational games, simulations, and problem solving. CAI provides multimedia content, assessments, feedback, and performance summaries. Key characteristics are two-way interaction, stored programs, individualized instruction, and drill/practice. Advantages include personalized learning pacing and attention, while drawbacks include costs, lack of human interaction, and infrastructure challenges.
Computer assisted instruction
- 2. Use of computers in education is referred by many names such as: Computer Assisted Instruction(C.A.I.) Computer Assisted Learning(C.A.L.) Computer Based Education(C.B.E.) Computer Based Instruction(C.B.I.) Computer Enriched Instruction (C.E.I.) Computer Managed Instruction (C.M.I.)
- 3. NEW TERMINOLOGY: Web Based Training Web Based Learning Web Based Instruction
- 4. Technologies of instruction 1. Hardware 2. Software I. system software II. Application software 3.courseware
- 5. Types of C.A.I. Drill and practice Tutorial Educational games Simulation Problem solving Informatinal instruction Tutorial Practical work-oriented instruction
- 6. Typical C.A.I. provides: Text or multimedia content Multiple choice questions Problems Immediate feedback Notes on incorrect responses Summarizes students performance Exercises for practice Worksheets and test
- 7. Characteristics of Computer Assisted Instruction Two way interaction Stored instructional program Student’s responses Individualized instruction Problem solving Drill & Practice
- 8. BASIC ASSUMPTIONS: Instruction for a number of learners at a time Automatic recording of the learner’s performance Variety in the use of methods and techniques Coping with quality Taking over time consuming tables
- 9. Advantages of C.A.I: One to one interaction Great motivator Freedom to experiment with different options Self pacing-allow student to proceed at their own pace Helps teacher-can devote more time to individual student Individual attention Privacy helps the shy and slow learners to learn Learn more and more rapidly Self directed learning
- 10. Drawbacks They are generally costly Decreases the amount of human interaction Availability and development of software or computer programmes Instructions tend to be boring and repetitive Teacher could provide the courseware exactly but this is expensive,time consuming and may require more programming expertise Lack of infrastructure They consume a lot of power Over use of multimedia may divert the attention from the main content.
- 11. Problems of maintenance Non human quality Absence of emotional climate Non achievement of affective objectives No solution of problems like discipline,wastage of time
