UNDERSTANDING SYSTEM
SOFTWARE, OPERATING SYSTEM
AND FUNCTIONS
System Software
The system software is
collection of programs
designed to operate, control,
and extend the processing
capabilities of the computer
itself.
Function of System Software
• Control system
• Manage machine resources
• Provide services to
programmer or to application
software
• Often written in assembler
• May run at all times computer is
on
• Almost always a package one off
development of system software
would be prohibitive
• Common handles several
processes at once
Windows
Operating System
An operating system (OS)
is system software that
manages computer hardware,
software resources, and
provides common services for
computer programs.
Function of operating system
• Process Management
• Resource Management
• File Management
• Communication
Management
• Security Management
• Memory Management
What is Instructional Software?
Instructional software is a
computer programs used to
give instructions or help with
instruction.
Categories of Instructional Software
1. Drill and practice
2. Tutorial
3. Simulation
4. Instructional game
5. Problem solving
1. Drill and practice
Allows learners to work
problems or answer
questions and get
feedbacks and correctness.
Drill and practice example
2.Tutorial
Act like a human tutor by
providing the all information and
instructional activities a learner
needs to master a topic,
information, summaries,
explanation, practice routine,
feedback and assessment.
2.Tutorial example
3.Simulation
Models real or imaginary
system to show how those
systems or similar ones
work or demonstrate
underlying concepts.
Simulation example
4.Instructional game
Increases motivation by
adding game rules to drill.
Instructional game example
5.Problem solving
Teaches directly through
explanation and practice. The
steps involve in solving
problems. Helps learner acquire
problem- solving skills by giving
them opportunities to solve
problem.
Problem solving example
ADVANTAGES OF
INSTRUCTIONAL
SOFTWARE
Drill and practice advantages:
 Allows users to practice at their own
pace
 Can be used across the curriculum in
many different content areas
 Gives instant feedback
 Many software programs use digital
rewards such as points or badges to help
motivate students
Tutorial advantages:
 Immediate feedback
 Motivates learners
 Instruction when no teacher
present
 Self paced instruction
 Alternative learning strategies
Simulation advantages:
 Real world learning concepts
 Work well with live instruction
 Allows repetitive practice
 Quickly analyses skills
 Freedom to make mistakes
Instructional gaming advantages:
 Interactive
 Engaging
 Playful learning
Problem solving advantages:
 Promotes visualization in problem
solving
 Varied and entertaining problems
 Students gain interest in subject
area
 Stress thinking process rather
than answers
