Henderson, Catherine – 1984
This paper reviews briefly the essential characteristics of both invitational education and computer assisted instruction (CAI) and the ways in which coordination of these two models can produce stimulating and valuable educational experiences for students. A matrix illustrates the characteristics of CAI which can support the major values of…

Computer-managed instruction (CMI) makes possible education which is individualized, adaptive, multi-mediated and student-controlled. CMI, however, is not yet successful and part of the reason for the failure is that the human aspects of the programs have been poorly managed. This situation can be remedied if the systems designers can learn to…
