The Advantages and Disadvantages of Five Common Computer Assisted Instruction Modes.
Davidson, Robert L.; Traylor, Karen – Illinois Schools Journal, 1987
This article reviews five modes of computer-assisted software so that teachers will be more aware of them and use computers more in their classrooms. The five modes are the following: (1) drill and practice; (2) tutorial; (3) simulation; (4) demonstration; and (5) instructional games. Teachers should review softwares and choose those that meet…

Computer Assisted Instruction: Effectiveness and Text.
Berger, Gertrude – 1988
The current state of computer assisted instruction (CAI) in kindergarten through grade 12 is discussed. Four formats for CAI--drill, practice, tutorial, and simulation--are defined, and a set of criteria for distinguishing between effective and ineffective CAI are described. Comparisons are made between human and computer tutors. In response to…
