Computer-Assisted Instruction in College Composition.

Evans, Peter; And Others

Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v30 n4 p311-19 Dec 1984

Use of microcomputers to teach basic prose writing to university students was investigated. The CAI program presented information, responded to answers, and evaluated input. Subjects were 50 University of Victoria freshmen. Few significant differences occured between experimental and control groups. CAI can apparently be used effectively to supplement face-to-face teaching. (DC)
