	Computer-Assisted Writing Instruction Resources
		Each experimental subject, nonetheless, had access to the computer in his or her regular classroom; and the average time spent writing on it over a six-month period was an hour a week.
		In addition to computer software which guides a writer through the formation of his or her own ideas, there are, of course, programs of preformatted exercises that many teachers consider important to writing instruction.
		As Withey described it, the computer can be "a blank page on which the student can write, revise, and edit...." What the writer who uses a particular word-processing program needs to keep in mind, however, is how long it took him or her to become comfortable with the new tool.

		Instruction is teacher dominated, with teachers doing most of the talking and student talk confined largely to brief answers to teacher questions.
		Although the actual instruction tended to be traditional, a strength of those programs was that they brought qualified instructors to an audience of students who would not otherwise have had access to them.
		Instructional television programming is limited in being one-way communication, but the production values and creativity of these presentations can be very high, reflecting a level of resources that no single teacher could command.

		Two factors contributing to the change in writing instruction have been the research investigating the way writing is taught and the computer.
		Before word processing, this instructional model of writing was not implemented due to the amount of time involved in extensive rewriting or retyping.
		If composition by computer is to become as natural an act for children as composition by handwriting, they must be allowed sufficient time to develop proficiency with the keyboard and with the specific word processing commands.

	Learner Analysis for Computer Assisted Instruction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Computer assisted instruction is not conducive to all content areas and to all learners.
		While traditional instructional design would seek to identify entry behaviors of the learner, there are now, and in light of computer assisted instruction, other entry-level characteristics that must be identified.
		While some instructional designers might be tempted to place multimedia throughout a CAI piece, the content or the learner might not respond to the addition.

	Guidelines for Computer-Assisted Reading Instruction
		At the height of the computer literacy debate, emphasis shifted to the role of the computer as a tool, and as a method for teaching problem solving.
		The emphasis should not be on using computers to increase reading and writing achievement, but rather on whether teachers use computers for meaningful reading and writing instruction, or are locked into computer-based drill and practice software.
		Computer instruction in reading should make use of content from a wide range of subject areas.

	Critical Thinking Strategies: Computer Assisted Instruction
		Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) is a legitimate method of instruction, equal to other traditional types of teaching in terms of learning and time involvement (Jelovsek and Adebonojo, 1993).
		CAI is useful in teaching decision making; developed on a case simulation approach, it can assist the student in the steps of the nursing process.
		Another study found that students using computer based instruction had higher examination averages and they had more positive attitudes toward their instructional method than conventionally taught students (Saucier, Stevens, and Williams, 2000).

	Teaching Tips Computer-Assisted Instruction
		Web-based instructional programs are technology-independent, running on most of the currently available computers; as new features are added to personal computers, server and browser programs are upgraded by vendors to take advantage of these advances.
		Web-based instructional programs often are not updated or refined, with the development efforts having been undertaken because of an overriding interest in a new technology or special funding, etc.
		Computer technology sometimes does not work well or consistently: electronic equipment malfunctions; software may not work properly; internet service can be disrupted.

	COMPUTER-ASSISTED INSTRUCTION
		Also, Springer (1973), indicated that the computer appears to be a strong motivational device for students identified as educationally disadvantaged and it broadens the scope of the scientific content that can be included in the curriculum.
		Their results and interpretations show that although the computer microworld contributed in significant ways to the maintenance and coordination of students' physics conversations, yet the computer environment was sometimes "unready to hand" so that students spent more time learning the software rather than physics and also limited the interaction within groups.
		Therefore, one should emphasize the importance of the teacher's instruction and presence in the classroom and laboratory, the importance of using text-books and having students "hands-on" in real experiments together with the use of computer programs.

	Computer-Assisted Instruction
		Computer-enriched instruction (CEI) is defined as learning activities in which computers (1) generate data at the students' request to illustrate relationships in models of social or physical reality, (2) execute programs developed by the students, or (3) provide general enrichment in relatively unstructured exercises designed to stimulate and motivate students.
		The effects of computer use on a large number of outcome areas were examined, including academic achievement in general (30), in mathematics (13), in language arts (8), in reading (3), in science (2), in problem-solving skills (2), and in health and social studies (1 each).
		Studies also focused on students' attitudes toward the content of courses in which computers were used (21), toward computers themselves (19), toward school in general (6), toward the quality of instruction in courses with computer activities (4), and toward themselves as learners (4).

	Computer assisted instruction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Computer Assisted Instruction (often abbreviated CAI) refers to a system of educational instruction performed almost entirely by computer.
		The first general-purpose system for computer-assisted instruction was the PLATO System developed at The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.The Plato system evolved with the involvement of Control Data who created the first authoring software used to create learning content.
		While that model may have been accurate in the early days of classroom computing in the 1980s and 1990s, in the twenty-first century the advent of Social Software is revolutionizing the use of computer technology in classrooms.

		Individually paced instruction and frame-based, computer-aided instruction comprised early attempts to provide adaptive instruction and, although successful for some types of learning, fell short because their learning environments had low fidelity and their ability to adpt was limited to branching between static screen (Murray 1998).
		In the sixties the first attempts to use computers in educations were based on rather behavioristic theories with emphasis on feedback and reinforcement actions (Gazzaniga and Scarafiotti 1997).
		The communication style was monodirectional (from the computer to the student) and imperative.
