This document discusses computer managed instruction (CMI), which uses computers to organize and manage instructional data to effectively achieve educational objectives. CMI can automate tasks like grading and scheduling to reduce instructor workload. It introduces the definitions of CMI provided by Burke and Leib, which describe CMI as using computers to systematically control instruction through testing, diagnosis, prescription, and record keeping or to aid instructors without doing the actual teaching. The document then outlines the key functions of CMI in education, such as inputting and analyzing student and curriculum data to generate reports on progress, and describes some advantages of CMI like tracking student performance over time.

2. COMPUTER MANAGED INSTRUCTION
(CMI)
• The term computer
managed instruction
(CMI) simply stands for
the instruction
managed with the help
of computer
technology.

3. • It can be defined as a category of
computer programme that may be
used by educators and instructors to
organize and manage data related to
instruction for attaining the
stipulated institutional objectives in a
most effective way.

4. • CMI implementation can reduce
instructor workloads by automating
tedious and routine functions such as
Grading, Scheduling, Keeping track of
resources.
• It can be introduced in phases and
adapted to meet the needs and concerns
of any particular instructor or group of
instructors.
• It can be done with just one computer.

5. • It helps instructors and curriculum
planners determine curriculum needs.
• It may be used for either individualized or
group instruction.
• It provides a basis for evaluation of both
students and instruction.
• It can solve some problems posed by
incompatible software and hardware.

6. DEFINITION
• “CMI is the systematic control of
instruction by computer. It is
characterized by testing, diagnostic
learning, prescription and through
record keeping.”
- Burke(1982)

7. • “CMI includes all applications of the
computer aid to the instructor in
instructional management without
actually doing the teaching.”
- Leib(1982)

8. Thus CMI in its most sophisticated
levels provides the following
instructional functions
• Assesses the learners present level of
knowledge
• Diagnoses weakness or gaps in the
students learning
• Prescribes learning activities to
remediate the identified
weaknesses, and

9. • Continuously monitors progress of
the learner

10. CMI in Education
• Input and storage of student data
(primarily test scores and activities
completed).
• Input and storage of curricular data
(generally objectives, test items
linked to objectives, and instructional
materials or activities linked to
objectives).

11. • Retrieval and analysis of the data
relating student scores and activity
to the curriculum data.
• Generation of various reports
showing individual or group progress
and current status.

12. FUNCTIONS OF CMI
• Diagnosis of entry
behaviour of learners.
• Generating
individualized
instructional plans.
• Setting of instructional
objectives.

13. • Generating instructional materials
and learning experiences.
• Avaliability of Instructional materials
Into curricular units.

14. • Monitoring of Progress.
• Providing remedial instructions.
• Management of information and
record keeping.
• Organization of testing and
evaluation programme.
• Generating all types of reports.

15. Advantages of CMI
• Tracking student performance over a
period of time.
• Providing information concerning
performance trends.
• Recording individual and group
performance data.

16. • Scheduling training.
• Providing support for other training
management functions.
