This document discusses computer assisted learning (CAL) and its uses and types. It defines CAL as learning through computers using subject-specific learning materials. It describes three main types of CAL: Logo, simulation, and controlled learning. Logo uses simple programming tasks to teach programming languages. Simulation allows symbolic experimentation. Controlled learning uses branching programs for instructional sequences. The document outlines several computer programs that can assist with writing, such as word prediction, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and spellcheckers. It also discusses the roles of teachers and experts in CAL and the advantages and disadvantages of CAL approaches.

6. DEFINITION
• "Computer Assisted Learning
or Computer Aided Learning is
defined as learning through
computers with subject wise
learning packages/materials"
....Mifflin.

7. A CLASSROOM FOR CAL

8. A CLASSROOM FOR CAL

9. PURPOSE
• To provide background
knowledge.
• To assess the teaching
process.
• To review and reinforce.

10. • To promote foundation
mastery.
• To promote remediation.

11. TYPES
1. LOGO.
2. SIMULATION.
3. CONTROLLED LEARNING

12. LOGO - CAL
• This system was developed by
Feurzing and Papart.
• It is the instructional procedure
for learning the programme
language through simple tasks.

13. • The simple programme in logo
system are concerned with
generating design on the
screen which students do by
folowing instructions.

15. • The programme provides
instructions that can be used to
produce pictures on an
oscilloscope or make a little
machanical robort.

16. Children learn to
logo make up
their own
programmes to
draw flowers or
faces or generate
designs on the
screen.

17. SIMULATION - CAL
• In simulation method the
programmes in computer
enable the students to
mount an experiment in
symbolic form.

18. CONTROLLED LEARNING
• It provides a course of study
in an instructional sequence
on the pattern of branching
programme.

WRITING
INSTRUCTIONS

24. COMPUTER PROGRAMMES
FOR WRITING
• WORD PREDICTION.
• SPEECH TO TEXT.
• TEXT TO SPEECH.
• SPELLCHECKER.

25. WORD PREDICTION
• SPEECH: Specific programmes
that identify words students
use repeatedly; when a student
types the first few letters, the
programme lists the frequently
used words that start with
those letters.

26. SPEECH TO TEXT
• Student speak into a microphone
and the programme types the
words.
• Programme must must be
trained to the students's word
pronounciation and speech style.

27. • Student must be taught how
to use the programme.
• Increase speed from voice
to text.

28. TEXT TO SPEECH
• Students can hear what they
have typed to check if it
says what they want to say.
• Good for editing.

29. SPELLCHECKER
• Students can identify
misspelled words.
• Automatically corrects words if
the teacher sets to the
programme that way.

30. EXPERTS
NEEDED FOR
CAL

31. 1. COMPUTER ENGINEER.

32. 2. LESSON WRITER.

33. 3. SYSTEM OPERATOR.

34. ROLE OF A TEACHER
• The teacher will be liberated
from his routine duty.
• The computer assisted
instruction can complete the
language data accurately and
rapidly.

35. ADVANTAGES
• Facilitates
instruction to a
large number of
students.
• Reduces the
work load of the
teachers.

36. CAN REACH LARGE
AUDIENCE

37. • Promotes multiple
dimensional learning.
• Promotes interactive
learning.
• Provides immediate
feedback.

38. • Increases mastry of
fundamental concepts.
• Improves motivation through
reward and interaction.
• Builds confidence among
students.

39. • Promotes critical analysis
and problem solving among
students.

40. UPDATING OF LATEST
TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION

41. CAL A PRECURSOR FOR
MOBILE BASED LEARNING

42. DISADVANTAGES
• Produces mental and physical
fatigue.
• The facility requires time and
money.
• It is very espensive.

43. •It is a mechanical
approach to education
