CAIT: a computer assisted instruction tool
Suzanne Louise Minton · John Spoor Broome Library Institutional Repository (California State University) · 2010
In this technology-centric age, the use of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) for distance learning is essential for a student's academic development.There is much research on how to build CAI to facilitate effective learning.However, the research results of the best CAI practices have not been fully implemented by available CAI tools.In addition, there is also a need for lightweight CAI tools.This Master's Project presents a tool called CAIT.The goal of this project is to develop a lightweight and decentralized CAI tool that teachers can use to help students understand the content from their classes at the students' own pace and own time.Using the templates provided by CAIT, teachers are able to enter lecture notes as various lessons and create quizzes that contain true/false, matching, and multiple-choice questions.To ensure that the proven CAI strategies for effective learning are employed, v this tool provides teachers with various guidelines that they have to follow when they create their CAI materials.This project directly benefits teachers and students trying to include distance learning to complement coursework.
