This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of computer-assisted instruction (CAI). It defines CAI as instruction or remediation presented using a computer. CAI is interactive, involving two-way communication between the learner and computer. Advantages of CAI include flexibility for students to work at their own pace, immediate feedback, helpful graphics, and variety added to courses. However, disadvantages include needing access to a properly equipped computer, lack of computer skills for some students, potential physical problems from overuse, costly educational software, and lack of human interaction compared to in-person instruction.

DISADVANTAGES OF
CAI

2. • What is computer-assisted instruction ( CAI)
"Computer-assisted instruction" (CAI) refers to instruction
or remediation presented on a computer.
• Many educational computer programs are available
online and from computer stores and textbook
companies. They enhance teacher instruction in several
ways

3. FUNCTION OF COMPUTER ASSISTED INSTRUCTION
( CAI)
• CAI is interactive in that it involves two-way communication
between a learner and a computer system.
• In some lessons the computer poses questions, the learner
responds, and the computer presents feedback. In other lessons,
the user initiates the interaction and the computer responds.

4. ADVANTAGE OF COMPUTER ASSISTED
INSTRUCTION ( CAI
• Many of the advantages of PI are also advantages of CAI and
web-based learning. The advantages of CAI include
flexibility for students so that they can work at their own
speed at the time that is best for them. With web-based
instruction, they can work at home, at school, or anywhere
there is a computer with an Internet connection.
• (See the example the next slide)

5. ADVANTAGE OF COMPUTER ASSISTED
INSTRUCTION (CAI )
• The immediate feedback provided by interactive terminals
keeps students interacting and eager to keep trying.
• The Computer will wait patiently for an answer and will
not express annoyance with wrong response.

6. • The graphics facility is a powerful aid in enhancing
intuition, especially in giving insight, into mathematical
formulae.
• The novel technique provides enrichment
of a course through added variety.
•

7. DIS-ADVANTAGE OF COMPUTER ASSISTED
INSTRUCTION ( CAI)
• Disadvantages include the need to own or have access
to a computer with the necessary RAM and
operating system,
• lack of computer skills of many students, Physical problems
such as carpal-tunnel syndrome and eye disorders (caused by
sitting in front of the computer screen for long periods of
time without blinking), prohibitive cost of educational
software, and the lack of human interaction in the lear
