The Effectiveness of Computer-Assisted
Instruction (CAI)



Students usually learning more when they receive
computer-assisted instruction
CAI is more efficient (reducing instructional time
from one-quarter to one third)
For example, computer tutoring can present
materials to students, evaluate the students’
responses, determine what to present next, and
track the students’ progress.
(Kulik, 1994, p.11)
