CAI: research requirements for instructional strategies

Abstract

The current developments of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) can be characterized as a phased transition from the creation of hardware and language systems for implementation into the more fundamental examination of the features of optimal instructional strategies for CAI applications. Instructional strategies are the plans by which informational presentations are matched with the current requirements of a learner in order to optimize on a set of criterion objectives. The research approaches into the nature and process of instructional strategies has been twofold, namely, naturalistic and systematic.
