Abstract Nowadays, computers are an integral part of the education process in many fields and levels. Although numerous research has been done on Computer‐Based Education (CBE), there are still open questions that have to be answered. Authors have faced some of those important questions over the years while developing the teaching applications from various areas. In this paper, those questions are presented, while the authors' approaches and obtained results offer some answers to those questions. The paper identifies the areas where special attention is needed in order to preserve the effectiveness of the applications in the teaching process. Practical examples of their work are used to demonstrate how the integration level of computers in the teaching process and teaching goals, along with other factors, can affect the effectiveness of teaching applications. With the comparison of the findings with other authors, some crude guidelines are given on how to achieve the best teaching results.
