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 (CAI) is an interactive instructional technique whereby a computer is used to present the instructional material and monitor the learning that takes place.
Drill-and-Practice Tutorial Simulation Activities Games Discovery  Problem Solving
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)
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
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
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
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 presents material in such a way as to develop problem solving rationale  Mainly used in children to develop problem solving skills
Text Audio Video Multiple-choice  Problems Immediate Feedback Exercises Tests Chat sessions Webcams
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
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
Independent Self-motivated Enjoy receiving frequent feedback
Less motivated learners Those who require a lot of human interaction Learners who are distracted easily
