Computer Assisted Learning

Behaviourism CC by-nc Andrew Pollard

Behaviourism
Practice should take the form of question - answer frames which expose the student to the subject in gradual steps
Require that the learner make a response for every frame and receive immediate feedback
Try to arrange the difficulty of the questions so the response is always correct and hence a positive reinforcement
Ensure that good performance in the lesson is paired with secondary reinforcers such as verbal praise, prizes and good grades.

Computer assisted Learning A brief history

Thorndike, 1912
If, by a miracle of mechanical ingenuity, a book could be so arranged that only to him who had done what was directed on page one would page two become visible, and so on, much that now requires personal instruction could be managed by print.

Pressey, 1920s
The teaching machine that Pressey developed resembled a typewriter carriage with a window that revealed a question having four answers. On one side of the carriage were four keys. The user pressed the key that corresponded to the correct answer. When the user pressed a key, the machine recorded the answer on a counter to the back of the machine and revealed the next question. After the user was finished, the person scoring the test slipped the test sheet back into the device and noted the score on the counter.

The personal online space
“ In the future it will be more than simply a storage place - a digital space that is personalised, that remembers what the learner is interested in and suggests relevant web sites, or alerts them to courses and learning opportunities that fit their needs.”
Ruth Kelly's introduction to Harnessing Technology, 2005

Schools white paper
Personalisation … means a tailored education for every child and young person
It means every pupil being able to extend their learning and develop their interests and aptitudes
Good schools already use ICT … to set and mark work online … and to link the classroom and home
By 2008 all schools will be able to offer access to e-learning resources both in and out of school. We will encourage all schools … to make available a personal online space to every pupil
