Computer-assisted instruction in its various forms has become evident in all segments of the educational sector including industry. universities and colleges, public schools, specialized institutions catering to the handicapped, as well as in the area of professional continuing education. This wide range of application touches upon learners of widely varying ages and capabilities, as well as wi...

INAFOURIE ABSTRACT COMPUTER-ASSISTED (CAI) HAS PROVED an effective method INSTRUCTION of teaching in Library and Information Science (LIS) practices such as online searching and enduser instruction. The growing interest in electronic information retrieval, and especially the Internet, as well as the emphasis on lifelong learning skills stress the need for training in the formulation of search s...

Abstrucf-Multiple instruction rollback (MIR) is a technique that has been implemented in mainframe computers to provide rapid recovery from transient processor failures. Hardwarebased MIR designs eliminate rollback data hazards by providing data redundancy implemented in hardware. Compiler-based MIR designs have also been developed which remove rollback data hazards directly with data-flow tran...

The United States Department of Defense (DOD) has contributed to the development of various education and training technologies, two of which are computer-assisted instruction and simulation-based instruction. DOD investment in computer-assisted instruction has continued from the 1950s to the present. Its contributions have ranged from drill and practice to computers capable of generating instr...

This study compared student perceptions and learning outcomes of computer-assisted instruction against those of traditional didactic lectures. Components of Quantitative Circulatory Physiology (Biological Simulators) and Mechanical Properties of Active Muscle (Trinity Software) were used to teach regulation of tissue blood flow and muscle mechanics, respectively, in the course Medical Physiolog...

Language classrooms are occasionally anxiety-breeding situations. Foreign language classroom anxiety which negatively affects foreign language learning is typically associated with productive activities mainly speaking skill. To cope with the issue and overcome language learning difficulties, the present study was conducted to explore the impact of mobile-assisted language learning on enhancing...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of traditional instruction (TI) plus Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) versus TI alone on college students' achievements in an introductory computer science course. This study was conducted at a small government university in Jordan using a Quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group design. A courseware was developed to investigate...

The objective of this chapter is to survey current activities in computer-assisted instruction (CAI), with the emphasis on the period 1973-1978. References to work occurring earlier are limited; moreover, there is no attempt to give even a summary history of the earlier period or to explain why there has been a developing use of computers for instruction up to 1973. A reasonably detailed survey...

The purpose of this article is to introduce and develop an approach educational research oriented, in order to integrate assisted instruction in assisted didactics design, based on a quality-quantity paradigm. In this context, the analysis focuses on a methodological approach, permanently reframed by the conceptual, analytical and theoretical updated frameworks. This manner reflects the version...
