Computer Assisted

Instruction (CAI)
Terminology
 Use of computer in education is
referred by many names such as:
• Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI)
• Computer Aided Instruction (CAI)
• Computer Assisted Learning (CAL)
• Computer Based Education (CBE)
• Computer Based Instruction (CBI)
• Computer Enriched Instruction (CEI)
• Computer Managed Instruction
(CMI)
New Terminology
 Web Based Training
 Web Based Learning
 Web Based Instruction
 Computer-based education (CBE) and computer-
based instruction (CBI) are the broadest terms and
can refer to virtually any kind of computer use in
educational settings. Computer-assisted instruction
(CAI) Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) is a narrower
term and most often refers to drill-and-practice,
tutorial, or simulation activities. Computer-managed
instruction (CMI) Computer-managed instruction is an
instructional strategy whereby the computer is used
to provide learning objectives, learning resources,
record keeping, progress tracking, and assessment of
learner performance. Computer based tools and
applications are used to assist the teacher or school
administrator in the management of the learner and
instructional process.
Computer Assisted Instruction
(CAI)
A self-learning technique,
usually offline/online,
involving interaction of
the student with
programmed
instructional materials.
 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.
 CAI uses a combination of
text, graphics, sound and
video in enhancing the
learning process. The
computer has many
purposes in the classroom,
and it can be utilized to
help a student in all areas
of the curriculum.
 CAI refers to the use of the
computer as a tool to
facilitate and improve
instruction. CAI programs
use tutorials, drill and
practice, simulation, and
problem solving
approaches to present
topics, and they test the
student’s understanding.
Typical CAI provides
Text or multimedia
content
 Multiple-choice
questions
Immediate feedback
Notes on incorrect
responses
Summarizes students’
performance
Exercises for practice
Worksheets and tests.
Types of Computer Assisted
Instruction
Drill-and-practice
Drilland practice
provide
opportunities or
students to
repeatedly
practice the skills
that have
previously been
presented and that
further practice is
necessary for
mastery.
Tutorial
Tutorial activity
includes both the
presentation of
information and
its extension into
different forms of
work, including
drill and
practice, games
and simulation.
Games
Game software often creates a
contest to achieve the highest
score and either beat others or
beat the computer.
Simulation
Simulation
software can
provide an
approximation of
reality that does
not require the
expense of real
life or its risks.
Discovery
Discovery approach provides a large
database of information specific to a course
or content area and challenges the learner
to analyze, compare, infer and evaluate
based on their explorations of the data.
Problem Solving
This approach
helps children
develop specific
problem solving
skills and
strategies.
Advantages of CAI
 one-to-one interaction
 great motivator
 freedom to experiment with different options
 instantaneous response/immediate feedback to the
answers elicited
 Self pacing – allow students to proceed at their own
pace
 Helps teacher can devote more time to individual
students
 Privacy helps the shy and slow learner to learns
 Individual attention
 learn more and more rapidly
 multimedia helps to understand difficult concepts
through multi sensory approach
 self directed learning – students can decide when,
where, and what to learn
Limitations of CAI
may feel overwhelmed by the
information and resources
available
over use of multimedia may
divert the attention from the
content
 learning becomes too
mechanical
 non availability of good CAI
packages
