Computer-Assisted Learning (CAL)

Computer-Assisted Learning (CAL) (sometimes -Aided)

The teaching material was organized in a more branched way than in the earlier CAIs based on Crowder's theories (Gazzaniga & Scarafiotti 1997). The results of tests for measuring the learning level could determine what teaching material to present next.

  • The teaching path was branched, depending on the results of the test
  • The communication style was monodirectional (from the computer to the student) and imperative (again)
  • Individuality was determined by the learning path and time spent learning.
  • Useful for training and recovery of knowledge.
  • Most severe criticism: difficulty to predict student reactions and risk of failing the aim of individuality.
