- An Introduction to Computer Applications in Support of Education. vonFeldt, James R. Computer Assisted Instruction Computer Managed Instruction Computer Oriented Programs Educational Needs Educational Trends Higher Education Individualized Instruction Instructional Innovation Instructional Systems Simulation Use Studies Computer systems comprised of a central computer, terminal, software programs, and a communication channel are being placed in charge of thousands of students for individualized instruction in various subject areas. The most prevalent uses of the computer as a teaching instrument include (1) drill and practice, (2) tutorial, (3) dialogue, and (4) simulation and game modes. Non-instructional applications support education in such areas as library information retrieval, guidance and testing, and administrative recordkeeping. Advantages of using a computer assisted instruction program include the increased availability of teacher time, individualized learning at the student's own pace, and reduction of learning time. A serious drawback has been the limited scope approach used to evaluate effectiveness, in which the computer's potential to teach has been judged by the effectiveness of a specific lesson, course, or technique.
