The document discusses how computers can be used as tutors in education. It notes that originally computers were designed in the 1950s to perform complex mathematical and logical operations. Later, personal computers (PCs) became affordable for small businesses, industries, and homes. Educators saw potential for PCs to provide individualized learning through computer-assisted instruction (CAI). While computers can take over some tutoring roles from teachers by breaking down barriers to individualized learning, teachers still play major roles in delivering information, controlling the learning environment, ensuring students have needed skills for computer activities, deciding learning objectives, planning activities, and evaluating student achievement.
