| contents | Integrating CAI into an Undergraduate Library Skills Course. Kimmage, Dennis Computer Assisted Instruction Computer Assisted Testing Course Evaluation Courseware Higher Education Individualized Instruction Librarians Library Instruction Library Skills Microcomputers Computer-assisted instruction has been integrated into an established library skills course at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh to supplement readings, classroom contact, and library assignments. Seven programs, one for each instructional unit of the course, were created in the form of self-tests that review course content, identify student weaknesses, and provide instruction. The capacity for immediate response to student input adds a dimension previously missing in the course and addresses the need for more individualized instruction where subject matter is difficult or poorly understood. The programs were developed in 1984 using the ApplePILOT authoring language, and tested on 70 to 80 students in the spring semester of 1985. These students found the programs to be valuable learning tools, and 87% of them recommended that the programs be made a permanent part of the course. Additional testing of the programs was planned for the fall 1985 semester with a much larger group of students (300-400) to confirm their value and to determine what effect, if any, they may have on academic performance and motivation. Three appendices present the data from the first study together with student comments. (Author/EW) |
