ACKNOWLEDGEMENTACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The PPP you are about to see is being presented through the kind permission of Dr. Nancy Dowdle the original designer of the presentation
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
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)
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.
Methods of Delivery
• Drill-and-Practice• Tutorial• Simulation Activities• Games• Discovery • Problem Solving
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)
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
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
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
Tools for Designing CAI
• Text• Audio• Video• Multiple-choice • Problems• Immediate Feedback• Exercises• Tests• Chat sessions• Webcams
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
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
What Kind of Learners Need Tailored CAI Tools?
• Less motivated learners• Those who require a lot of human interaction• Learners who are distracted easily
