  3. Computer Assisted Instruction Project “A” HRD 860 Nancy D. Dowdle

  4. 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

  5. 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)

  6. 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.

  7. Methods of Delivery • Drill-and-Practice • Tutorial • Simulation Activities • Games • Discovery • Problem Solving

  8. 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)

  9. 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

  10. 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

  11. 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

  12. Tools for Designing CAI • Text • Audio • Video • Multiple-choice • Problems • Immediate Feedback • Exercises • Tests • Chat sessions • Webcams

  13. 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

  14. 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

  15. What Kind of Learners Benefit? • Independent • Self-motivated • Enjoy receiving frequent feedback

  16. What Kind of Learners Need Tailored CAI Tools? • Less motivated learners • Those who require a lot of human interaction • Learners who are distracted easily
