Computer-based education has been extensively studied in the last two decades. Such studies have shown that applications of computers, such as computer-aided instruction (CAI) and computer-managed instruction (CMI), can be useful in some facets of education, especially teaching basic skills and for drills. CAI is the use of a computer to help…

The objectives of this study were to find ways to use online data for Computer Based Education (CBE) lesson development and evaluation, to find correlation with off-line data, and to find limitations in the use of online data. Lessons in mathematics, biology, accounting, and chemistry were given on PLATO to community college and some high school…
