Abstract

Computer applications in education are becoming more and more prevalent. Perhaps the most talked about use of computers in the schools is to control the educational material presented to students... the Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) application. CAI requires that two problems be solved. Someone has to decide what material should be sent to a student, and when, and someone has to arrange that the computer actually do what is desired. The first problem, what should be done, is a topic for educators and psychologists. Our concern is with the second. How can we make CAI a convenient tool for the educator?
