Introduction
Computer-assisted learning is to convey a vast amount
of information in a very short period of time. It is a
powerful method of reinforcing concepts and topics first
introduced to you through your textbook, and
discussion in the classroom.
Definition
Computer Assisted Learning is defined as learning
through computers with subject wise learning
packages/materials

Computer-assisted learning is a type of learning which


aim to provide interactive instruction usually in a
specific subject area, and many predate the Internet.
Purpose
Instructional Purposes
Curriculum development
Educational administration and management
Educational Planning
Educational Documentation
Educational Test construction
Scoring and processing examination results
Educational research
Characteristics
Any CAI should:

Promoting interactive learning


Promoting educational management
Providing additional learning opportunities
Introduce flexibility into the learning environment
Accommodate different learning strategies
Encourage open mindedness by allowing a variety of
acceptable answers
Develop and reinforce critical thinking skills
Allow the learner to formulate and test her own
hypothesis
Consideration of the teaching and learning philosophy
expressed in the program

Computer Assisted Learning providers


• Text or multimedia content
• Multiple choice questions
• Problems solving
• Immediate feedback
• Notes on incorrect responses
• Summarizes students’ performance
• Exercises for practice
• Worksheet and tests

Type of software used in computer


assisted learning
1) Drill and Practice
2) Tutorial
3) Problem Solving
4) Simulation
5) Tool Software
6) Computer Programming

Drill and Practice


• Drill and practice software are generally used the
same way that worksheets or flash cards are used
in classrooms. It provides repeated exposure to
facts or information, often in a question or game-
type format.
• Drill and practice software were the most prevalent
type of computer application for many years, since
teachers were not quite sure how else computers
could be used. Drill and practice software also fit
nicely into a behavioural approach to teaching and
learning since it measured student performance.
• Drill and practice software deal primarily with
lowerorder thinking skills

Tutorial
• Tutorial software presents concepts or skills and
then gives students the opportunity to practice
them as compared to Drill and practice software
which does not include a teaching component.
• Tutorials may be linear or non-linear (where they
can branch off in one of several directions based on
interest or need). Older software is more likely to be
linear in nature. branch off in one of several
directions based on interest or need)
Problem Solving
• Problem solving software allows learners to
see the results of their reactions to various
events.
Learners manipulate variables, and feedback is
provided based on these manipulations.
• Problem solving software does not necessarily
utilize realistic scenarios. For example, in the
Carmen San Diego series, the student flies
around the world getting clues to try to track
down a criminal. The process is contrived,
although students develop problem solving
skills and learn geography at the same time.
• There is a lot of power to using problem solving
applications in the classroom, provided they
match the curriculum. It is sometimes
otherwise difficult to provide feedback based
on individual choices students without the
computer
Stimulation
• A simulation is a representation or model of a
real event, object, or phenomenon where
learners can see the results of their actions.
Sometimes it is not practical or feasible to do
the real thing, so a simulation is used to
provide experiences that otherwise would be
denied. The difference between simulation
software and problem-solving software is that
simulation software deals with realistic
situations.
• This is a very powerful application of
computers and the educational community can
capitalize on this type of software. Students are
given the power to manipulate aspects of
models or situations. They see the results of
their decisions immediately.
• Simulation and problem-solving software
address higher-order thinking skills.

Tool Software
• Tool software is the most prevalent computer
application used in education right now. It
encompasses all software that can be used as a
tool for student learning.
• Word processors, desktop publishing packages,
spreadsheets, data bases, graphics programs,
telecommunications software, and multimedia
software are samples of tool software.
• Tool software is cost effective because it can be
purchased for a wide range of grade levels and
content areas. Both students and teachers can
use the software

Computer Programming
• This used to be a big category of computer use in
the schools, but the Emphasis on programming
skills has decreased significantly. Many schools no
Longer even offer programming classes, but instead
are teaching students to use Multimedia and other
computer tools.
• Logo is still taught, especially for its value in helping
students understand Mathematics. It is a
programming language that is not used outside of
education.
Advantages
• Reduced the work load of teaching. Improve
motivation
• Reach the large audience
• Multiple dimensional learning
• Promote interactive learning
• Builds confidence among students.
• Provide immediate feedback

Disadvantages
• It is a mechanical approach Mental and physical
fatigueIt
• It is very expensive
• None effective for some applications (e.g.
reasoning)
• Lack of infrastructure
• Lack of knowledge
• Lack of computer literacy
Setting to use computer assisted
learning
• Home- educational CD’s, distant education, WWW
educational sites
• Schools- videos, educational CD’s, distant
education, simulation activities
• Computer labs– web, interactive software CD’s
• Organizations– web, teleconferencing, annual
mandatory’s, HR / training Modules
• Hospitals- patient simulation models, skill CD’s,
telehealth
• Testing centres– computer testing modules (CRNP
exam!!!!)
• Senior centres– health CD’s, videos, WWW
educational sites
• Libraries– reading activity CD’s, videos, interactive
educational program.

Use of computer in nursing


• To maintain the nursing records of the patient
• To record admission of the patient
• To record discharge of the patient
• To maintain intake and output chart of the patient
• To keeping inventory records
• Storage of patient information for a long period of
time
• To evaluate the patient problem
• To record all data for future references
• To maintain dietary plans of the patients
• To facilitate the continuity scare of the patient

Scientific use of computers in


education
• Four focal areas of computer management supports
to teachers.
a) Constricting, scoring and analyzing test.
b) Keeping records of student’s performance and
progress.
c) Providing guidance to students and advising for
next.
d) Reporting on the performance and progress of
students, tutors and Educational
administration.
• Computer's educational aims:
a) Motivates students to achieve aims.
b) Provide meaningful experiences to students.
c) Assist goal attainment by providing appropriate
material.
d) Assist in formatting realistic goals.
• Use of computer in drill and practice.
• Use of CAI in new learning.
• Computer learning based on individual needs.
Conclusion
Computer assisted learning mainly used for distance
learners
and children’s. It is also precursor of mobile learning. It
is a modern teaching method for e learners
