The document presents an overview of computer-assisted instruction (CAI), emphasizing its role in facilitating individualized learning through interaction between students and computers. It details the components of computers, types of CAI, and their applications in education, while also acknowledging the limitations and concerns surrounding their implementation. Ultimately, it concludes that while CAI has advantages in teaching and learning, the unique qualities of human teachers remain irreplaceable.

2. What is a Computer
 A computer is a general-purpose
device that can be programmed to
carry out a set
of arithmetic or logical operations
automatically. Since a sequence of
operations can be readily changed,
the computer can solve more than
one kind of problem.
 Conventionally, a computer
consists of at least one processing
element, typically a central
processing unit (CPU), and some
form of memory. The processing
element carries out arithmetic and
logic operations, and a sequencing
and control unit can change the
order of operations in response to
stored information. Peripheral
devices allow information to be
retrieved from an external source,
and the result of operations saved
and retrieved.

4.  Computers have their
own languages to suit
different purposes like,
BASIC,COBOL,LOGO,
PILOT,FORTRAN. We
should understand the
languages of the
computers if we want to
communicate with
them.

6.  CAI stands for type of instruction aided or
carried out with the help of computer as a
machine. It is just one step ahead of the use
of teaching machine and in the use of
programmed textbook in making the
instructional process as self-directed and
individualised as possible. CAI is an
interaction between a student, a computer
controlled display and a response entry
device for the purpose of achieving
educational outcomes.

7. The following are the facts to clear out the
definition
In CAI there is an interaction between individual student and the computer
just as it happens in the tutorial system between the teacher and an individual
student.
The computer is able to display the instructional material to the student.
The individual student takes advantage of displayed material and responds to it.
These responses are attended by the computer for deciding the future course of
instruction displayed to the learner.
The interaction between the individual learner and computer helps in the
realisation of the set instructional objectives.

number of learners at
a time

Timely and
automatic
recording of the
learners’
performance
Variety in the use of
methods and
techniques
Taking over time
consuming tasks

10. TYPES OF CAI
 Logo :- Logo is a simple programming language which can
be taught to the children. The programming provides
instructions which can be used, for example to produce a
picture of oscilloscope or make a little mechanical robot.
 Simulation and gaming :- Simulations are condensed
learning exercises specifically designed to represent vital
real life activities by providing learners with the essential
elements of real life situations without its hazards.
 Controlled learning : it includes both drill and practise and
interactive instruction. It can involve the use of interactive
adaptive strategies.

 Cost of programme

14.  The introduction of CAI in general education in
advanced countries has created a fear in the teacher
community that its use in teaching-learning will take
place of the teacher and to some extent eliminate
teachers from the teaching scene. Teachers need no
longer be ‘talking books’ (delivering lectures) or
‘paper correcting automations’. They can work in
areas like
 Evolution
 Planning
 Guidance
 Human relations
 The system of CAI provides direct interaction with
the students individually and with the teacher.

15. Conclusion
• Nothing can replace a teacher. The human
teacher is more versatile and adaptable than the
most effective auto-instructional device and
these characteristics will always be required in
the classroom because students need personal
intellectual stimuation.

18. Limitations
of CAI

Costly No solution of problems

19. Conclusion
 Inspire of certain limitations, CAI have multiple
advantages. Computer is the one of the
machine of automation in teaching and
learning. It is used for presenting the
individualised instruction. It can be used to aid
instruction, storage of information about
learning resources, storage and analysis of
data about learners.
