Introduction
What is CAI? Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) is defined as the use of computers and software applications to teach concepts or skills.

Introduction
Who developed CAI? IBM developed the first instructional computer systems. When was CAI developed? In the 1960s using minicomputers. From the 1960s to the 1980s, IBM produced a handful of these 1500 series computers. What is their purpose of developing CAI? For the use of military and several universities.

Introduction
Why use CAI? Teaching with technology gives color to what we teach to our students.

Effectiveness/Advanta ges
Students say they like working with computers because computers: Are infinitely patient Never get tired Never get frustrated or angry Allow students to work privately Never forget to correct or praise Are fun and entertaining Individualize learning

Effectiveness/Advanta ges
Students say they like working with computers because computers: Are self-paced Do not embarrass students who make mistakes Make it possible to experiment with different options Give immediate feedback Are more objective than teachers Free teachers for more meaningful contact with students Are impartial to race or ethnicity

Effectiveness/Advanta ges
Students say they like working with computers because computers: Are great motivators Give a sense of control over learning Are excellent for drill and practice Call for using sight, hearing, and touch Teach in small increments Help students improve their spelling Build proficiency in computer use, which will be valuable later in life

Effectiveness/Advanta ges
General Beneficial Effects of CAI

Learning Rate Learning Retention Learning Attitude Attendance Motivation Cooperation

Limitations/Disadvanta ges
Younger versus older students Lower-achieving versus higher-achieving students Economically disadvantaged versus higher-SES students Lower- versus higher-cognitive outcomes Handicapped learners Males versus females CAI in different curricular areas
