Computer assisted instruction
Computer Assisted Instruction refers to a system of educational instruction performed almost entirely by computer. Such systems typically incorporate functions such as:
- Assessing student capabilities with a pre-test
- Presenting educational materials in a navigable form
- Providing repetitive drills to improve the student's command of knowledge
- Possibly, providing game-based drills to increase learning enjoyment
- Assessing student progress with a post-test
- Routing students through a series of courseware instructional programs.
- Recording student scores and progress for later inspection by a courseware instructor.
The first general-purpose system for Computer-assisted instruction was the PLATO System developed at The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
